In which I discover del.icio.us

Does anyone know why they put the periods where they do?

I heard of del.icio.us a long time ago but wasn’t interested at first in discovering what it was. When you first start computing or blogging, there is a lot to take in! But after seeing how other people use it and seeing references to it or links to it on other people’s blogs, I can see it’s value. One value for me personally is that I can take my long list of particular blog posts which I have bookmarked under that creative title and tag them easily into categories. It’s actually a lot quicker and easier than bookmarking.

There is a great You Tube video explaining it in plain simple English here.

So I finally started my own del.icio.us here. I will probably put a link to it in my sidebar at some point.

I am in the process of adding all my old bookmarked pages a little at a time. Two new ones added today are:

20 Tips to Save Money on Gas

and

13 Ways to Maintain Your Brain (I need all the help I can get.)

Also, though I don’t have this on del.icio.us, I wanted to mention a site I discovered at a link at Lizzie‘s, the Homeschool Freebie of the Day site. I don’t think you have to be a homeschooler to participate. They have resources that would be of interest to many people. Today, for instance, is a free download of Homestead Simplicity: A Primer, which has a lot of great tips and recipes for homemade household items. Each free download is only available for one day, though. You can sign up there for a weekly e-mail letting you know what will be coming up in the week ahead. It’s a great resource.

  1. I discovered del.icio.us a couple of years ago, and incorporated it into my sidebar as “Worth the Read” – kind of a running list of things I’ve recently bookmarked for myself. That’s as far as I got with it; no networking or anything like that. I’ll have to go and look at yours and add you to my network now!

  2. Barbara,
    Thanks for your sweet words on my post. I will be visiting again after my break!

    Blessings,
    Miss Sandy
