Adding Bookmarks and Searching in Deliciou s toc

==  == == Introduction == 


 * More Delicious Features**
 * Display bookmarks as a **list** or in a **cloud**, sorted by tag **name** or **frequency** of use. (The larger the tag in the cloud, the greater the frequency).
 * **Share** all your bookmarks with students or colleagues by giving them a **single URL** for your username http://del.icio.us/josteen
 * Share your sites for a particular tag by **providing the link for that tag only**, (e.g. http://del.icio.us/josteen/21stcenturylearning  -- where the user is //josteen// and the tag is //21stcenturylearning//).

 * <span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Subscribe to the **RSS feed** of a specific **user**, **tag** or **user/tag combination** (i.e. all of a particular user's bookmarks tagged with a specific tag) in your **RSS reader**, on a blog, wiki or other webpage.
 * <span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Create a special **"shared" tag** to collect resources **along with others** for a particular purpose or topic, for example "<span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">pw2t <span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">." If you want to share a site with our group, use "pw2t" as a tag along with your other chosen tags. Here is what the RSS feed for the tag looks like, <span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">embedded in a wiki page <span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">. Imagine how you could leverage this for student research, sharing sites with colleagues, or for the school library!

Fill in the **notes** and **tags** fields, and edit the **description** as desired. (If other users have tagged the site, tag suggestions will be provided and you can just click them. After awhile, your own tags will be suggested as well). Separate each tag with a space. Remember that (to a point) "over" tagging is better than "under"tagging.
