1. Set up an id on http://del.icio.us. Install the Del.icio.us buttons on your toolbar.
2. Consider using the Firefox browser extension for easy tagging (visit www.mozilla.com)
3. Import bookmarks or favorites saved in your current browser by clicking on File -> Import.
4. Actively add new tags using the browser buttons installed during registration (and explained on the left). Click on the square logo to see your tags at any time.

• Share the link to your del.icio.us page with friends and colleagues.
• Take advantage of your Del.icio.us network. Click on the ‘your network’ link at the top of your page. Type in the names of other del.icio.us users you’d like to add to your network (making you their ‘fan’). Remove people from your network by clicking the ‘x’ next to their name. Your network is public by default, although you can easily change your settings through your network page.
• Share new tags with friends through the ‘for:username’ field. Your recommendation will appear in your friend’s ‘links for you’ page (at the top of their del.icio.us page).
• Display details about your network on your website or blog using a network badge (http://del.icio.us/help/networkbadges).

Considerations

• Personal versus work uses. Consider where you will mix tags for personal and work against the same id.
