Creating Your Own del.icio.us Cookbook

Method

Getting set up with del.icio.us is easy, and free.

1 Sign up at http://del.icio.us. The sign-up procedure will walk you through the easiest registration on the planet.

2 Click on the "post to del.icio.us" and/or the "my del.icio.us" images and drag them up to your browser's bookmarks bar. It should end up looking something like this:

Now if you find a great recipe online, just add it to your del.icio.us collection by clicking on the "post to del.icio.us" button in your bookmarks bar. Assign it some tags. It's as easy as that.

3 Most people who use del.icio.us use it for more than just recipes, clearly. So as to not mix up the recipe links with other links, create a tag "bundle" for your recipes and bundle your recipe oriented tags under that bundle. I also take the additional step of tagging all of my recipe links with "recipe" and "recipes".

4 If you do set up an "virtual cookbook" at del.icio.us, please add me to your del.icio.us network and let me know so I can add you to mine.

5 Finally, I've added a little del.icio.us button to the bottom of every post in Simply Recipes. If you click on that button, it will take you to del.icio.us and prompt you to add the link to your del.icio.us bookmarks.
