=**What is delicious?**=

[|Delicious] is a social bookmarking site. The "bookmarking" uses tags which help you to save, organize, and identify all of your favorite websites. The fantastic part is that instead of saving the bookmarks to your computer's web browser, you are saving them to the web. That means that when you are online you can access your favorite sites--anywhere in the world! (No more random sticky notes and forgotten web addresses!) So, why is it "social?" You can easily share bookmarks with friends, co-workers, or any delicious member!

=**Create**= Go to [|www.delicious.com] and register for a free account. You will choose a username and password. Your username will be part of your Delicious URL address, so choose wisely. For example, if your username is "johnsmith," your URL address will be [|www.delicious.com/johnsmith].

=Add Buttons= The fastest way to save bookmarks within Delicious is by installing the browser buttons or bookmarklets. Instead of copying and pasting URLs, you can press the button and the information will be automatically inserted into your Delicious bookmark. For directions on installing the buttons, see below:

Browser Buttons
Go to: http://delicious.com/help/tools for browser button directions. You will need to ask your technology coordinator to add browser buttons on your school computer.

Bookmarklet
Go to: http://delicious.com/help/bookmarklets for instructions. The easiest is the Firefox option with a drag and drop feature. Internet Explorer users try the Manual option. Just make sure to right click and save both links in the **Links** folder when you "Add to Favorites."
