Almost there . . .

Thing 22
I have now added a widget to display my latest "Delicious" bookmarks to iGoogle.
I had a lot of problems accessing "My Delicious". Too many email addresses, login names, passwords are going round...


My iGoogle page looks dull, because I didn't have the time and the patience to learn how to customize it.
I was unable to find a place that allowed me to resize the gadgets (i.e. widgets).

Thing 21
I enjoyed the result of attaching a widget displaying my photographs from Flickr to the bottom of this blog.

Networking, Network Explorer

Have now also added Angela Carritt's Delicious entry to my Network on Delicious.
By clicking around and looking at AC's network, I can see that one can create endless rings and roundabouts, by linking and by adding little Flags indicating that one is a Fan. Two little flags indicate that the fanship is Mutual.

Have added Lucile Desligneres to my Network on Delicious as well.

When I clicked on Delicious Network Explorer in order to view my network, I get the error message
"Error, can't establish connection to fetch data". Why is that?
It should show at least 3 entries on my Delicious network (Philosophy Library, Angela Carritt, Lucile Deslignieres).

Puzzled.

I have also noticed that when I apply Labels to my blog postings, I get controlled vocabulary now.
Is there a way I can suppress this feature, so that I can type in any tagging term that I fancy?

Networking / Delicious

Have now added the Delicious bookmarks of the Philosophy library, which I found listed in the OULS Web 2.0 Directory to my Network on Delicious.

Bookmarks on Delicious

Ploughing on:

  • have signed up to Delicious (using my Yahoo login details)
  • have uploaded my bookmarks from Firefox to Delicious, something I had meant to do for ages
    [uploading was very fast, for more than 1000 bookmarks]
  • have decided to keep most of my bookmarks "private" until I improve the tagging
    [I need to get used to the new structure of my bookmark collection. I had them organized in directories, by subject, and got so used to it. Now I can display them by date, or alphabetically, or by tags - a whole new world]
  • have made a few bookmarks "public"
  • have improved the tagging on those public bookmarks
    [I find it irritating that tags can only be one word long. What does one do with compound names?
    Hyphenation doesn't work, I have tried that. Have used "_" instead, but that's not satisfactory.
  • have added the tag "ox23" to all my public bookmarks, so that they get picked up by other Delicious users who search by tag "ox23"
