Adding del.icio.us tags by category (WP howto)

It took a ridiculously long to figure this out, though I knew it was possible from other blogs (Nederkaart), so I hereby document this.  Adding the links was done (there may be other ways) through the Wordpress Presentation -> Theme Editor ->, selecting the “sidebar.php” file and inserting code as below at the bottom of the lsidebar division.  The sort order, count, and title can be adjusted.  Only “shared items” appear.

<script type=”text/javascript” src= “http://del.icio.us/feeds/js/Sweetmaps/BlogsAndNewsletters title=”Map /GIS Blogs”;sort=alpha;count=50″></script><noscript><a href=”http://del.icio.us/Sweetmaps/BlogsAndNewsletters” mce_href=”http://del.icio.us/Sweetmaps/BlogsAndNewsletters”>Map and GIS Blogs</a></noscript>

At some point the code changed… this seems to work (2/17/2008) 

<div id=”blogsandnewsletters” class=”widget sb-html”><script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://del.icio.us/feeds/js/Sweetmaps/BlogsAndNewsletters?count=50;title=Blogs and Newsletters;sort=alpha”></script>
<noscript><a href=”http://del.icio.us/Sweetmaps/BlogsAndNewsletters”>

BlogsAndNewsletters</a></noscript></div>
