I often stumble across intriguing web pages when I’m busy doing something else. Now I can save them with a single click, and easily come back to them later on, whether I’m at work or at home. Now you can do this too.<\/p>\n

This uses Peter Parkes’s ingenious One del.icio.us click<\/a> bookmarklet. As with so many things, you get the best results if you use Firefox, but it’s still useful if you use another browser and RSS reader.<\/p>\n

  1. Save the To Read<\/a> bookmarklet in Firefox’s Bookmarks Toolbar Folder. This puts a “To Read” button in the toolbar. (In Internet Explorer you can use the Links folder; I don’t know about other browsers.)\n<\/li>\n
  2. Edit the bookmarklet and replace username<\/em> with your del.icio.us user name.\n<\/li>\n
  3. Go to any website and click your new “To Read” bookmarklet. Nothing much seems to happen, but…<\/li>\n
  4. Go to del.icio.us\/your-user-name<\/em>\/toread and you’ll see the site has been added to this new category.<\/li>\n
  5. In Firefox, create a Live Bookmark for this RSS feed. (To do this, click the little orange box at the bottom-right of the Firefox window.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now whenever I’m on the Web, whether at home or at work, my “To Read” list is right there in the Bookmarks menu. If I’m somewhere else, I just go to del.icio.us and look at the toread<\/em> category.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
