Week 3 - Task : Using Delicious.com to store useful links

http://delicious.com/pagila_camelia

This is the URL of my Delicious Account , a free and useful Web 2.0 tools tool which is going to help me save and share the sites that are important to me . Furthermore it helps me find bookmarks from other users on my network .

Setting up the account with Delicious only took a few minutes and required no special technical knowledge ( besides Deborah’s instructions ) . How I did it :

1.I went to the Delicious homepage.
2.I clicked on the “Join now “link.
3.I completed the same username and password as I have for my Yahoo e-mail account.
4.From the next page I chose to create a new delicious account.
5.Then I clicked on “Install Delicious add-on For Firefox “
6.After they were installed, I could bookmark pages easily by clicking on the “Save a new bookmark” from the next page
7.I completed the URL
8.I filled in the tags field and then saved them
9.That’s it!

And because I have visited Deborah’s page at her delicious site I practiced again and bookmarked her on my Delicious site. I hope she won’t mind!

Accessing my blog I could see a set of new tabs on my toolbar and clicking on the "Tag" button I could even bookmark the address of my blog !

Quite delicious when you can do it right off the bat!

  1. Dear Cami,
    Bookmarking on Delicious is easy and simple, but I think it is important to include a brief and concise description of what the bookmarked site is about. In this way, everyone can immediately see if the link is of any interest to them.
    I added you to my network.
    All the best

  2. Dear Arjana,

    I assume you refer to the 'notes' field that I have not completed. I think I will do it as soon as I become more familiar with the site .And also the "tags" field seemes extremely important because makes yoo think of relevant categories .It appears to be more than just arranging your personal books in the bookcase.

    Thank you for your remark ,
    Camelia
