Today I visited your website and I liked it. It looks great and I really like what you have to offer, but I just don’t have time for it right now. I’ll come back later … if I can remember where to find you … or if Google can help me find you again … assuming I can remember what exactly made me like your page. Hmm… If only I had some way to quickly keep your site on a list that worked no matter which computer and browser I use.
Oh, yeah. There is. It’s called Delicious and I use it. I’ve been keeping all of my tastiest bookmarks on delicious.com for years — and so have millions of other people. Using Delicious, I can access my saved web sites from any browser on any computer anywhere. I don’t bother with the bookmarks feature of my browser because I use two browsers on this computer, four on my laptop and I also access the web from my phone, my wife’s computer and when I’m on the road. It’s so much easier to just go to my personal bookmarks list at delicious.com/RealNerd and browse/search there.
While you’re working on making yourself more accessible, make sure you do the same thing for your web site. Make bookmarking your site a single click option. Just put a little link with a graphic on your site and give me one-click access to save your site for later. If you’re not really the figure-it-out-and-write-the-code person, don’t worry, Delicious has even done the work for you.
Do it yourself — no assembly required
All you need to do is grab the HTML code from the first box on the Save Buttons page on Delicious. I’ve copied the same code below so you can see what I’m talking about.
<img src="http://static.delicious.com/img/delicious.small.gif" height="10" width="10" alt="Delicious" /> <a href="http://delicious.com/save" onclick="window.open( 'http://delicious.com/save?v=5& |
All you need to do is put that little bit of HTML code on each page of your site and you’ll have a nice little link that looks and works just like this:
If you’re not directly responsible for updating your site, pass this along to the person who is. It only takes a few minutes for you and it will really make my life easier (not to mention the other few million Delicious users). Thanks!
