I’d never heard of Postalicious – I was using the XML-RPC on my blog – but I hacked it around a bit, and now have it feeding BiNS and my own blog from the same del.icio.us account. That’s great, as I think I can squeeze kitten links on too and run three link posting things separately from one browser.

I think WP-o-matic might also be something you could get to do this

Pete,

HG is correct. On Strange Attractor, we’re using the del.icio.us XML-RPC posting service they have. Go to settings > blogging > daily blog posting. They also have other formats that are probably more flexible but would require a little programming – JSON files, API calls, etc.

But there is a plug-in for Word Press. You can see it on Martin Stabe’s blog.

The del.icio.us links are added as new posts with a del.icio.us graphic and a link to his account.

Aha, yes, got it now, thanks to Hg up there. Sorry for being such a banana.

Heh. I thought that must be the case even as I was writing it. You mean in line, yes. :) It’s looking very good.

So what did you do?

Brenda, you’ve completely, yet understandably, got the wrong end of the stick. ;)

Check the front page of CiB to see what I mean.

Ah, that might be because it’s not a plugin, it’s an extension. Is this what you’re after? It is tag sensitive:

Does your template offer it as a widget? With that and the main deli.cio.us Firefox plugin thingy, it’s a one-click job. Or did you mean something different?

Oooh! That looks dead handy and might explain why the dearth of plugins. ;)

Set it up and waiting to see what happens. The only downside I can see is it can’t be limited to specific tags, but that’s not an insurmountable problem (I don’t use delicious for personal stuff that much anyway).

Thanks!

Do you mean the “links for 2008-01-30″ style posts on Strange Attractor, like I do on Hydragenic?

They’re not done with an MT plugin, it’s an experimental XML-RPC feature within del.icio.us itself.

It’s fairly straightforward, if a little cryptic. It says that WordPress is supported.
