Automatically updating your WordPress Site from Delicious Account
One of my friend was updating his Wordpress site with links from his Delicious bookmarks. I was wondering how? In this internet age nothing is hard to find. I googled it and found out some places where they have explained it. But, none of the post where so convincing that I make it work by reading the post. So I decided to help people with a more convincing post of mine.
Requirements:
1. You should have a delicious account. Delicious is a online bookmarking site ( You can save your bookmarks online and your bookmarks follow you where ever you go)
2. A site which supports XML-RPC interface. In our case we are talking about a site that is maintained using a word press. So how to enable support for XML-RPC on a wordpress ?
Read on.
Login to you wordpress admin console. Go to Settings and then click on Writing. In the “Remote publishing” section check the enable XML-RPC .
The settings page will look like this.
After you are done with this. Login to your delicious account. Click on settings.
Under the blogging section click on the Blog Posting link.
You will see a interface like this.
In this interface everything is self explanatory. What would be your out url in your case. Normally in wordpress sites after enabling the xml rpc interface the out url will be “http://yousitename.com/xmlrpc.php”. Set a time when your links has to be published to your wordpress site. It is in Universal time, that is GMT. So choose what would be appropriate for you.
After you are done wait for your site to get updated everyday. It’s that simple. Now every day there will be posts on your blog. You can add descriptions to your delicious links which will also be posted.
