Del.icio.us+Q&A

I've been hearing from my mom about some questions about Del.icio.us, specifically regarding privacy settings (selective visibility, group permissions, etc.) As of now, the visibility settings on Del.icio.us are fairly simple: just a "private" or "public" setting. "Private" allows only you to view the bookmark, and "public" allows everyone to view it, whether they're in your network or just browsing.



To change a bookmark's settings, hit the "EDIT" button in the lower lefthand corner.



From there you'll get the "Edit Bookmark" window. From there you can add and remove tags, annotate your bookmark and most importantly: change the privacy settings.



To make a bookmark private, simply fill in the "Make private" button, and hit save.



The bookmark will now be marked with a small padlock icon in the lefthand margin, and no one will be able to view it unless they are logged into your account. You can always change the settings again by following the same steps.

I'll be happy to answer any other questions about Del.icio.us that may come up, so feel free to ask! -Brad
