del.icio.us now provides linkrolls via javascript.
All you have to do to use it is copy the following script to your editor (it’s all one line, so remove any line breaks):
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://del.icio.us/feeds/js/techrageo.us/tech?tags;
extended;count=14;title=my%20del.icio.us;
bullet=%C2%BB;icon;sort=alpha"></script>
Then adjust the querystring to your needs as follows
- Modify “techrageo.us” to whoever’s del.icio.us links you want to monitor
- Modify “tech” to filter by a certain tag, combine them with “+” as in “tech+diy”, or remove the “/tech” altogether to not filter by tags.
- extended — include “extended” if you want to see the extended text for each link
- tags — include “tags” if you want to see the tags for each link
- count — include “count” if you want some number of links displayed besides the default (20, I believe)
- title — include “title” if you want del.icio.us to add a title, or simply remove the title portion of the querystring
- bullet — include “bullet” and set it to a character if you want a bullet displayed before each link
- icon — include “icon” if you want the del.icio.us icon to appear, or remove it for no icon.
- sort — include “sort=alpha” if you want the links to be sorted alphabetically. If the sort key is not included, the default is to list the links chronologically.
- Drop the resulting script into your web code where you want the links to appear
- del.icio.us delivers the link feed inline
Kind of snazzy.

Hey — I was wondering if you knew about a tag I could insert into this bit of code that will organzie my del.icio.us links in “letter-count” order… would you know?

Ordering is done with the
sort=key, but the only options arealphaand the default, which is chronologically. (I’m guessing that, by letter-count you mean you want “b” listed before “aaa”, etc.) Sorry. I’ll update the post to include sort.Leave a Comment
