For New Blogger : Blogger del.icio.us categorising, pinging, and trackback helper

body

I have made some minor bug fixes to this script, as well as made it so that it saves the trackback URLs when you save a draft.

Some time ago I married Johan's del.icio.us and pinging script with my own trackback script into one new script. That script does not work on the new version of Blogger, and the trackback feature has been glitchy for some time. Outgoing trackback is still something we need on the new version of Blogger, and the pinging services provided by this script might even be useful on other blogging services. Del.icio.us posting? Now that we have labels? Well, Freshtags, my calendar widget, and just tag management in general, will work better if you use del.icio.us. If you disagree, this part of the script is optional.

This script does not overwrite the old script. Running both simultaneously will look dumb on the Blogger Classic interface (there will be duplication), but will not break anything. If you only run on the new Blogger, please remove the old script (if you have it installed).

Install the new script

This is the update I've been looking for! Question, though: What do I need to do to make the del.icio.us tag field show up? I'm getting the trackback field, but no place for tag input. Thanks in advance.

@Ariel - the del.icio.us link draws tags from the 'labels' field of the new Blogger :) no more need for a separate field!

the del.icio.us link draws tags from the 'labels' field

That's genius. So will clicking on the labels take readers to the del.icio.us pages, as previously?

I should probably clarify a little more. With the previous hack, I liked having the del.icio.us tags appended to the posts, and got a fair bit of traffic from del.icio.us as people launched from one post and then clicked around the index, related tags, etc. Any way that can still be done, in preference to Blogger labels? I have a pretty massive del.icio.us index for my blog which would take a lot of time to bring over.

Thanks again!

To make the links point to your del.icio.us account, as previously, change the label-link generating code in your template to this:

<b:if cond='data:post.labels'>
<div class='tags'> Tags:
<ul>
<b:loop values='data:post.labels' var='tag'>
<li><a expr:href='"http://del.icio.us/USERNAME/" + data:tag.name' rel='tag'><data:tag.name/></a></li>
</b:loop>
</ul>
</div>
</b:if>

Great! A tip that may be useful... I've found that by changing the "Tags" or "Labels" text to "Read more:" I get many more pageviews.
