Only a week after I closed down Brain Links, Brain Links is back, albeit in a more simpler form. Before, each link had its own page, with a description and the possibility to comment on the link (which was rarely used). The new Brain Links is only visible as a linkroll on the sidebar of the main page of Brain Tags.
To power Brain Links, I no longer use Movable Type, but created a new widget that fetches the last ten links from my del.icio.us account. There are no archives, no overview, no categories, no comments,β¦ just ten interesting links.
In case somebody also wants to create a del.ico.us widget, this is the code I used:
<div class=“module-delicious module”>
<h2 class=“module-header”>Brain Links</h2>
<div class=“module-content”>
<a href=“http://del.icio.us/beltza">my del.icio.us</a>
</div>
</div>
Insert the code above into a new system template called Widget: del.icio.us linkroll, and add the widget to a widget manager. Do not forget to replace beltza with the name of your del.icio.us account!
