Adding delicious bookmarks to a Wordpress post.

Ok, I’ll admit it, I often dream up an idea that I’m going to have the time to code up some new tool to do so-n-so on my blog.  It starts out as a really good idea like this:

Create a wordpress plugin to take all of my friendfeed sharings for a day and create one post for them in the morning before I’m awake to share with people.  There is the pseudo-code now when someone has that done will they let me know, because I don’t have time to do it right now.  (In all seriousness, if someone sees how to do this easily please leave a comment)

Since I have time restrictions I copped out and instead setup to share my bookmarks through delicious through their blog posting tool.  So how does this work?  Like this (this is for wordpress, other platforms are probably the same or similar):

  1. Sign Up for a delicious account here
  2. Add the bookmark toolbar button
  3. When you see a page you like, perhaps like this one, click the bookmark toolbar button on your browser and add a tag.
  4. Once you have done this a few times, if you are like me, you might want to share these on your blog as (one) post daily.  Go to the delicious blog post area and edit your job so it looks like this:

  • job_name is the name for your posting job, which can be anything
  • out_username is the login name you use for your blog
  • out_password is the password you use for your blog
  • out_url => http://yourblog.com/xmlrpc.php
  • out_blog_id => probably 1, if not you probably don’t need to read this.
  • out_cat_id => probably 1
  • out_hour is the hour (from 0-23 in UTC) to post your links at daily, google utc converter to find your time

That is pretty much it, hopefully this will help someone else get this going.
