Better Bookmarking Tips

The first thing you should do when you have created a Delic.io.us account is to try bookmarking some sites. You will need to install a button in your web browser’s toolbar if you have not already. Then, go onto the world wide web and find a site that you like. To quickly bookmark that site using the Lifehacker plugin on Firefox, you will need to drag the Quicker Tag into your Firefox toolbar. You will then come up with a keyword and you’re done.

If you choose to use Google Reader, you can install the Greasemonkey plugin for Firefox and you will see an ‘Add to Delic.io.us’ button at the bottom of each post. Another cool tip for using Delic.io.us is to try posting your links to multiple accounts. If you have a Delic.io.us account that you use personally and one you share with your blog readers, post the link in both. This will work if you are using Firefox as your web browser and you have the Delic.io.us complete plugin downloaded in your browser.
