Social bookmarking links

I've added some links to the bottom left of each page that allows you to bookmark any page on the site to Delicious or other social bookmarking sites.

I've tested a couple that I use and they work. But I don't have accounts on the others to be able to test that they work. I also can't test in other browsers.

So if you have an account on one of the social bookmark thingies, could you see whether the link I've provided actually works.

I've tested delicious and Digg on Windows with Firefox.

And yes I know that they lose the icon when you mouseover them.

It's because the links have padding left and are over the list items. So when you hover and it sets the background, it obscures the pic. Set margin left rather than padding left on the links or set the background picture to the links rather than the list items.

yeah it works on facebook.......but whats the point in it,what is it for?

Thanks. I would've figured it out, but you've saved me a bit of time doing so.

Mostly it's for me. But as I use delicious and was building it, I thought I'd make it for you guys too.

The point is that you can use one of those services to maintain bookmarks online. Meaning you can access them from any computer (which I find dead handy) and you can also tag your bookmarks (which I also do, and it means I can find things years later from across the whole 'net).

I love and use delicious. But I included the others as the BBC does so and I figure that they've probably researched what the most popular bookmarking engines are.

Some of them aren't strictly bookmarking things. I barely use Digg (which is supposed to be a news site) and am not even on Facebook (social network). But the general gist is that you can save bookmarks there to specific pages and posts on here, and years later will be able to visit your bookmarking site and jump right back to the spot you wanted on here.

It doesn't really make sense to just bookmark the top page using these tools. I find it better to bookmark everything that I think I might want to lookup again, from funny parts of threads, photos that I don't want to lose, and of course technical guides and stuff.

ohh....thanks:)

I some tend to try and just put my .mozilla/firefox/usercrap/bookmarks.html up on a webpage but I might try your method vb as I always forget to keep them syncd up.

Interestingly, look what just made the front page of Digg
