Weekly post of del.icio.us book marks to wordpress

28-Mar-07

delicious-icon.gifThank to the help of herebox.org I was able to add the ability to get new links from my del.icio.us account and post them on this site once a week. the script uses curl instead of fopen which is much more secure.

I made a few changes to the script.

  • Instead of posting the links to my blog right away I posted them with a draft status so I could review and make any necessary changes.
  • I added the Tag links for the UltimateWarriorTags plug-in so that my users could look for other posts that they also might be interested in.

The original herebox.org script can be downloaded from his site. yawd-curl-1.0 script

My modified version can be downloaded from my site UltimateWarriorTags with yawd-curl-1.1 script

Example: Delicious-03-28-2007
