BrT

I had been using the del.icio.us widget included with the widgets distribution to produce the “my del.icio.us” section in the sidebar. Today I discovered that del.icio.us also provides a javascript snippet that you can include to produce exactly the same output, so I have disabled the del.icio.us plugin and inserted the javascript in a new Text widget.

The problem? The del.icio.us code produces a title for the list (you can specify an empty title, but if I did that, for some reason the list appeared empty as well), but if I left the empty title in the Text widget, an ugly empty title bar appeared. Of course, someone has already figured out the solution, which is a very simple modification to the code of the text widget. Happy again!

I also noticed that del.icio.us can automatically do a daily post of new links to your blog. Maybe I will try that next, to replace the postalicious plugin which I have been using to produce my Linky posts. Postalicious works very nicely, but the less moving pieces I have to maintain, the better
