The return of Delicious links

I’ve decided to trial putting a daily auto Delicious feed back on the site again to see what happens. I took this feature off the site earlier in the year, as often that would be the extent of the blog content, which didn’t seem a good thing.

If it looks like it will get to the point where the majority of blog posts are just Delicious links I will once again take the feature off – before that happens!

So here are the things I book marked today (bit of a backlog by the looks of it):
