Changing the default setting for del.icio.us bookmarks app to Do Not Share

When I tag a page using del.icio.us, I always have to click “do not share” if I don’t want the link showing up on facebook and elsewhere. Annoying!

This can be changed.

Open firefox. Type in

about:config

into the address bar. Right click anywhere on the page. From the menu that appears, select New->Interger.

It will ask for a name of the new preference. Enter:

extensions.ybookmarks@yahoo.sharemode

It will ask for a value next. Type

1

That’s it! Now the delicious app will default to having the “Do Not Share” option selected. I really wish they made this more straight forward.

what is this all about?

So I’ve been wanting, for some time now, to put together a blog, the sole purpose of which is to record my geeky finds from around the internet. Others have saved me countless hours by posting their solutions, I just want to give something back.

My plan here is to not waste a lot of time customizing this site; I spent 10 minutes getting this blog in place and I don’t want to spend any more time. I don’t want a headache when I go to upgrade to the next version of wordpress.

This blog is all about keeping it simple and saving time.

So there you have it, the stock theme,  plaintxtBlog, by Scott Allan Wallick. Thanks Scott!
