NetNewsWire and Delicious
Mac Tip #326, 20 February 2008

NetNewsWire is all about reading newsfeeds. The articles in those feeds are sometimes things you’d like to bookmark, for yourself or others, or that you’d like to post about in your own blog.

Clicking a Toolbar button to send a bookmark to Delicious.

First, of course, you need to set up a (free) Delicious account, and / or a blog. I suggest the free WordPress.com if you don’t already have a blog.

Bookmark a post on Delicious

A window appears where I can log in

What happens next depends on several settings. In this case, my settings are to use NetNewsWire to post items to Delicious, and I’m not currently logged in, so a window appears where I can log in.

I fill in details for this bookmark and save it.

I actually normally use software called Pukka for sending bookmarks to Delicious. It costs US$15.

Choose your preferred bookmarking technique

Next time you bookmark a post, your preferred technique will come into play. For me, that means Pukka opens up, providing a window where I can edit details before sending the bookmark to Delicious.
