Skill Level

You must be comfortable with editing your Blogger template and using Del.icio.us and JavaScript.

Description

This series of hacks uses JavaScript to display the contents of a tag in your Del.icio.us account in a post on your blog. These solutions pull results from Del.icio.us and integrate them into your template, making the categories appear to be part of your blog set-up and addressing the issue raised by folks who don't like to be taken off-blog to see a list of tagged content.

Method

Please visit the links above to obtain detailed instructions. In general, the method is as follows:

  1. Create a post in your blog for each category.
  2. Use a Feed2Javascript service to take the Del.icio.us feed and reformat it as a script.
  3. Publish the script in the post you created.
  4. Hard-code links in your sidebar to each of these dynamic posts.
