del.icio.us in wordpress.com

Finally I got the autoposting from del.icio.us to my WordPress blog activated.

Here’s how I did it (*):

  1. Make yourself a category you want this posts to appear in. Then look up its ID from “Manage” -> “Categories”
  2. Then you need to obtain the ID of your blog. Apart from asking the wordpress.com admins,there seems to be only one other simple method:
    • Go to your blog and create yourself an extra blog
    • Log in to this extra blog and go to “Users” -> “Your profile”, then view the source code of that page.
    • you will find something like this:

      < select name="primary_blog" > < option value='#####' selected > http : / / yourblogname.wordpress.com / < / option > < option value='#####' > http : / / yoursecondblogname.wordpress.com /

    • Your blog number is in the fields “option value” (where I put #####)
  3. Now you have your ID, you go to del.icio.us and log in to your account. You go to “settings” and in the “Blogging” part you find “daily blog posting”
  4. Click the “add new thingy” link and start filling in :
    • job_name is the name for your posting “thingy”, which can be anything
    • out_name is the login name you use for your blog
    • out_pass is the password you use for your blog
    • out_url is the full URL of the XML-RPC interface for your blog, for wordpress this is http://%5Byourblogname%5D.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php
    • out_time is the hour (from 0-23 in GMT) to post your links at every day
    • out_blog_id is your blog ID number. Here pays off all your effort in finding it out as it obviously is NOT 1
    • out_cat_id is optional: here you put the ID number of the category you created (or choose) to post in
  5. Now wait for the miracle to happen. Take into account that most of the jobs run a good 30 minutes after the hour, probably due to scheduling taking place on the WordPress.com servers
  6. Oh yes, you also need to have new del.icio.us entries for the past day, otherwise there is nothing to post off course.
