If you’re like most people, you use Delicious to keep track of websites you’ve bookmarked and notes you’ve taken. But if you’re using Internet Explorer 8, there’s a good chance that Delicious doesn’t work the way you want it to. In this article, we’ll show you how to add bookmarks and notes to Delicious in IE 8. First, open Delicious in IE 8. Next, click the three lines in the top left corner of the window. This will open the menu bar. Click “Bookmarks.” This will open the “Bookmarks” window. Click “Add.” This will open the “Add Bookmark” window. In the “Title” field, type a title for your bookmark. In the “Url” field, type the URL for the website you want to bookmark. In the “Description” field, type a brief description of why you want to bookmark this website. Click OK to add your new bookmark. ..
Share with Delicious in Action
To add the accelerator click on Add to Internet Explorer and confirm the installation when the secondary window appears. This is going to be much better than having the Favorites Bar or a new toolbar taking up precious UI room.
When you find a webpage that you would like to bookmark right click within the page, go to All Accelerators and select Share with Delicious.
The form for the new bookmark will open in a new tab with the URL and title filled in. All that you need to do is add any desired notes/tags and save the bookmark.
Suppose that you want notes from the page added to the bookmark. Highlight the desired text, right click on it, then go to All Accelerators and select Share with Delicious.
As before the form will open in a new tab…you can see the highlighted text was entered into the notes section for the new bookmark. All that is left to do is add an appropriate tag and save. Once you save your new bookmark the tab will auto navigate to the webpage that you just saved.
Returning to our account showed the new bookmark ready for future use along with the notes for later reference.
Conclusion
If you add bookmarks to your Delicious account but want to save UI room, then the Share with Delicious accelerator will make a nice addition to Internet Explorer.
