I post quite a few things on my blog every day. I also submit all my links using del.icio.us and through some dark magic, have my links automatically posted on different blogs every night. Once you learn this tip, you’ll appear to blog frequently.

Because I use Wordpress I wanted a way to publish my del.icio.us links to my Blogger account everyday.

How to get del.icio.us links posted on your WordPress blog everyday:

1. Sign up or Login to your del.icio.us account
2. Start bookmarking and tagging favorite web pages. I recommend using the “post to del.icio.us” bookmarklet on this page by dragging that bookmarklet directly onto your bookmark toolbar. The “post to del.icio.us” button allows you to post your current page to del.icio.us, and allows you to enter tags and a brief description of the link.
3. In del.icio.us, click Settings and look under Blogging, then click on the link that says “daily blog posting”
4. Click “add a new thingy” and some obscure form appears
5. Enter the following into the form, and enter your relevant details in the [boxes]
   job_name : Daily Delicious Post (or whatever you want)
   out_name : [Your Blogger Username]
   out_pass : [Your Blogger Password]
   out_url : Your blogspot url
   out_time : 4 (the GMT that you want the post to happen. 0 = 8pm EST)
   out_blog_id : Your Blogger blog ID.
   out_cat_id : This doesn’t work in Blogger. Put any number here.
6. Hit “Submit Query” and you’re done!
7. Simply wait for the magical moment when you links magically appear on your blog!

   out_pass : [Your WordPress Password]
   out_url : http://[Your Blog URL]/xmlrpc.php
   out_time : 4 (the GMT that you want the post to happen. 0 = 8pm EST)
   out_blog_id : 1 (might not matter to WordPress)
   out_cat_id : 1 (Regardless, it’ll probably post to the default WordPress category)
6. Hit “Submit Query” and you’re done!
7. Simply wait for the magical moment when you links magically appear on your blog!

From now on, simply add bookmarks to del.icio.us everyday and you’ll have a decent post every night. Ultimately, you’ll turn your collection of del.icio.us bookmarks into something visibly useful on your blog. After all, your links and your blog both probably define who you are, so you should really harness this powerful synergy.
