It sounds like you were using your delicious bookmarks toolbar as the destination for the bookmarklet. If so, that would be why it didn’t work. You are supposed to use the bookmark toolbar that comes with your browser. Depending on your browser’s settings, it may not have even been showing.

I’ve gotten the bookmarklet to work by simply dragging the code to the bookmark bar. You can create a manual bookmark and copy and paste the code into it, but that location is different for different browsers. All in all, I wanted to present the simplest method possible. I’m glad you got it to work, and I hope you have a lot of fun using it!

I don’t know why it wouldn’t work your way. I thought because I was signed into delicious it wouldn’t let me add to the toolbar, some crazy thing with delicious I guess. I went back and checked what was on the page and it does say to drop “copy” in the bookmark area.

However, after trying forever to get it to work and having the same problem, I went to the link there for Rakesh. After reading those instructions it worked immediately. The DIFFERENCE was to copy the html into the navigation bar, test it, then save it to tool bar, then move it to the bookmark area. I’m a real bozo when it comes to tech stuff, so when I figured it out I wanted to let you know because I’m sure there are others like me who may have this problem. So, I wanted to forward this to you so that you can pass it along or make a note somewhere for people to see.

Thanks for the help,

Chris Swain

I cannot think of any reason why you should have a problem. I use delicious extensively and have had no plugin/bookmark conflicts.

Sorry I couldn’t reply to your comment sooner, but I just looked at your blog everything seems fine! Good for you on figuring it out and getting it to work! Sometimes these things can be frustrating but also rewarding when they work.

Here is the widget that I’m using –>

I’m a new Blogger blog.

Any clue as to what I’m doing wrong?

As for clutter, I think that issue is best solved with good design, which I like to think I’ve accomplished that with how I’ve formatted my Technorati tags below the posts.

What are bloggers talking about? What blogs are so popular that thousands of web sites and blogs have posted links to them?
Technorati has the answers.
Technorati is a social site that not only tracks links between blogs but articles posted by bloggers…

A wordpress plugin in installed this afternoon helps with the Technorati tags, Autometa. If you’re going after Technorati tags, I suggest grabbing it. Installation is easy.

BTW does that solution from Rakesh work with the WYSIWYG editor in Wordpress?

Greg, that is an excellent question. The bookmarklet only works in an HTML code view. For WordPress, you would need to go into your profile options and uncheck the box that says “Use the visual editor when writing” or temporarily access the HTML with the “Code” tab. You may already know that, of course, but I thought I’d mention it for everyone’s benefit.
