Links Are Now Delicious

I just wanted to give a heads up that I’m using del.icio.us to power my Link Roll. The built-in Textpattern links were OK but I wanted an easy way to seamlessly combine the main feed with the links feed and del.icio.us along with FeedBurner seemed to be the solution.

The biggest difference will be that links will now appear in the main entry feed. I’m not an over-linker so that shouldn’t bother anyone. The only unfortunate thing is that all of my links just got added wholesale into the main feed. Whoops. I also don’t like that they have [del.icio.us] appended to them. If it ends up being annoying, I’ll get rid of it (I was only trying to help, I swear!). Feedback is, of course, welcome.

To integrate del.icio.us with the site I’m using Marshall Potter’s plugin TXP.icio.us (which I defy you to pronounce). It got me up and running in under 5 minutes, so that was pretty neat.

Lastly, here’s my del.icio.us page for whatever noble or nefarious purposes you see fit.
