How to Create Tags for Bookmarks on Del.icio.us

Del.icio.us is a Web site that allows you to store bookmarks online, so you can access them from any computer. After you create a bookmark, you can add tags--words that describe the site or its content. These can help you to remember and organize your favorite sites. And since everyone's bookmarks are viewable by other users, you can use tags to find new ones as well.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Computer with Internet connection
  1. Step 1

    Open your Web browser.

  2. Step 2

    Go to the Del.icio.us site at http://del.icio.us. If you have a Del.icio.us account, click the "my Del.icio.us" button on your browser to reach the site. New users can create an account by clicking the "Register" link.

  3. Step 3

    Click on the "Bookmarks" link.

  4. Step 4

    Find the bookmark you wish to tag and click the "Edit" link that appears next to it.

  5. Step 5

    Add a tag. There are no set tags--you can use any single word which helps identify the bookmark to you. If you are adding multiple tags, include a space between each one.

  6. Step 6

    Click "Save" when done.

Tips & Warnings
  • Use tags that are appropriate; others can see your bookmarks.
  • Del.icio.us is a free service.
