Where does he get those wonderful toys?

In January I turned my attention away from RSS to the template and ways in which I can add non-intrusive functionality. From del.icio.us Play Tagger to Google automatic language translations (This blog is now available in German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean or Chinese with the aim of reaching a multilingual readership).

The balance between tools and cosmetic clutter is a precarious one. If I'm failing on the latter, sorry, but the former should make things about square between us!

Be del.icio.us

This isn't an advertising spot for Donna Karan New York (DKNY). Those with a discerning eye will have noticed that all posts now support 'add to del.icio.us and Furl It' social bookmarking!

Social bookmarking is gaining mainstream momentum, enabling consumers to keep, share and discover links, and complements RSS.

The last few days I've exhausted my leisure time researching different methods of integrating social bookmarking: manual and automated. Whilst manual editing affords customization, automation was a priority given that there are nearly 400 archived pages, making the former method unrealistic, and it's the superior option going forward! So, undaunted I searched Google and result.

My next quest is to research and implement Technorati tags transparently.
