If you’re like most people, you use del.icio.us to bookmark websites and articles you find interesting. But if you’re like me, you’ve probably been adding bookmarks manually—a time-consuming process that can get tedious after a while. Luckily, there’s an easy way to automate the bookmarking process: using the del.icio.us Bookmarklet extension. The Bookmarklet extension is a free add-on that lets you add bookmarks from any web page or article on del.icio.us—no more copying and pasting URLs! To install the Bookmarklet extension, click the “add bookmark” link on the main toolbar of any del.icio.us page, or go to this page and click the “add bookmark” link in the sidebar (it looks like a green plus sign). Once installed, clicking the “add bookmark” link will open a window that looks like this: In this window, you’ll need to enter the URL of the webpage or article you want to bookmark (for example, http://www.thespruceeats.com/food-drink/best-vegetarian-burgers-2901191). After entering the URL, click “add.” You’ll then be taken to a confirmation screen: Click “add,” and your new bookmark will be added to your list of bookmarks! ..
Greasemonkey comes to the rescue with the del.icio.us autotag user script, but the problem is that you can’t edit the bookmarks by clicking on the del.icio.us tag button, because that script always immediately submits the form, and also duplicates the tags.
I’ve created an upgrade to the script that fixes those problems. Just like the first script, it will automatically add the popular and recommended tags:
Here’s the details:
Automatically enters in popular or recommended tags, submits the form and closes the pop-up window. If the bookmark has already been saved, it will leave the edit window as is. Doesn’t duplicate the tags if you use the tag button more than once.
And here’s the source code, in case you are interested:
I simply couldn’t live without this script, but I wouldn’t recommend using it if you like to browse by tag.
