Detailed Walkthrough:

Step 1

Go to www.delicious.com

Step 2

If you sign in successfully, just skip to Step 4.

If not, you can create a new account by clicking on “Join Delicious”

                                                 

The “Join Delicious” screen appears:

                                                    

I suggest the “Create an account” button:

                                             

After filling in the form, you have joined Delicious successfully.

Step 3

Add an image to the profile:

It is not necessary to insert an image, but each follower likes watching pictures. I think a picture cheers up the session.

In the upper right corner next to the welcome message is an arrow. Pressing this one leads to a short menu. Choose the first one, the “Settings” item.

The new screen offers “Choose image”. After pressing this button the windows explorer with the screen name “File upload” appears.  Select a picture from your PC (its size should not be larger the 2 MB) and your task is done.

Step 4

Add a new link to Delicious:

                  

After clicking “Add link”  the “Add a new link to Delicious” screen appears. Insert the wanted URL (link) into the gap and press “Add link”.

The next screen displays the link title.

“Your comment” is an area that is ready to contain your comments (1000 characters possible).

The third part is the Tag area. When you check the “insert recommended tags” checkbox, the included tags appear.  Drop the tags that you don’t want or add new tags (insert the name of it into the free space).

If the Private Checkbox is checked, the link is hidden; no other users can see the link.

Commit the new link by pressing “Add link”. That is it.

Step 5

Search for links on Delicious:

The upper left gap (next to the logo), the “Search Delicious” area, is ready to receive the research criteria.

The question mark offers “Delicious tips and tricks” receiving better results.

      

REMEMBER:

Displays all the links you have added.

NETWORK:

        All links from all your followers are displayed.

DISCOVER:

        All Delicious links are displayed.

Entering a tag, for example “#dictionary”, divides the result in three parts:

        You:                                                       your links that matches the criteria.

        Network:                                             your follower’s links

        More links on Delicious:                                all other matching links on Delicious

                  

RELATED TAGS:

The “Related tags” list offers tags that you have used in your added links.

Step 6
      Use the help facility for more information:

At the left column at the bottom of the page is the “Help” entry. A lot of “Frequently Asked Questions” support the curious user.
