Adding Services to Your Quick Blogcast Website

Quick Blogcast® includes several useful services that expand the functionality of your Website. Services include an interface with Photo Album, Photobucket®, RSS feeds, and social bookmarking Websites such as del.icio.us®.

del.icio.us

Using del.icio.us, you can store your bookmarks online instead of in your browser, allowing you to store and access bookmarks from any computer. del.icio.us is referred to as a social bookmarking service because users often share their bookmarks with other users. In this way, del.icio.us users can also browse favorites that other users have found interesting. This process is simplified through the use of tags to describe bookmarks.

    Your del.icio.us username.
    Service Tags
