Easiest way to post del.icio.us to MT Powered blog
Post @ 10:51 in Blogging - XML
There are some existing methods to integrate del.icio.us links with Movable Type Blog. Like use a third-party RSS feed tool to pull up a link list by insert a javascript to MT template or use a perl script to grab del.icio.us feed to a blog. I'd prefer Jeff Veen's way to automatically create a daily post from del.icio.us, this one need some coding works and may not fit for all hosting service. Joshua (who is inventor of del.icio.us) had released a small tool, it makes thing really simple to post a daily entry to MT through del.icio.us API. All you have to do is follow these simple instruction below:
First go to: http://del.icio.us/settings/$USERNAME/daily Change $USERNAME to your del.icio.us username. then add a new thingy, follow the description:
job_name is a name for the posting thingy
out_name is the login name for the site
out_pass is the password for the site
out_url is the xmlrpc url, probably like mt-xmlrpc.cgi
out_time is the GMT hour to post on, 0-23.
out_blog_id is the blog id #
out_cat_id is the optional category id #
That's it, del.icio.us will post daily link to your MT blog, and this tool works with blogger.com API too.
