just your type
Our friends over at Six Apart write:
If you have a TypePad blog, you can now make it easy for your readers to bookmark your stories on del.icio.us by automatically including a “save to del.icio.us” link in your post footers — without having to learn a single line of template code. Just sign into your account, navigate to your blog’s design tab, choose “Select Content” and configure your post footer.
In the past, we had a lot of questions from TypePad bloggers about how they could do this themselves, and instead of having them convert to Advanced Templates and copy and paste template code into their blogs, we wanted to save them the hassle and just do it as an option in the application.
If you’re using TypePad’s advanced template feature (and you know who you are), not to fear — del.icio.us has lots of options for adding your own savebuttons to your posts. Hint: you can use the template code that del.icio.us has for Movable Type, it will work just fine in your TypePad blog.

Maybe you should work on getting del.icio.us back up again. I’d like to view my bookmarks.

I am new to del.icio.us and not sure what I’ve gotten myself into after reading these newest 3 posts. It sounds like somebody needs to get a life and not on the internet. What a joy to read what you are looking for….good luck with that. I know the world is filled with more frogs than acceptable human beings, so maybe it’s good that there are 2manyfrogs. With complete sincerity, M.E.

I now notice the last 3 post before mine are all from the same person. If you’re in a bad way this morning, you might just want to try “do it yourself.” Oh, and don’t look for “how to” on the DIY channel. It may be that your tools are too small. What is your “real” problem, anyway?

The code for wordpress found here will not work unless you enclose the two php blocks in single quotes. They are parameters for javascript encoding functions and need to be passed as strings. I can’t post the corrected code here because apparently this filters tags.
