I’ve received a couple of inquiries about how I’m doing my daily delicious posts, so today I cleaned up the script a little so I can post about it and send it out.
Basically this script takes Marc Nozell’s Yet Another Daily Delicious script (you can find the original script here) and uses WebSnapr’s thumbnail service so you can see a preview along with my delicious bookmarks.
You can download the script here. Setup instructions are in script. I only did one quick run through after I made my changes, so if anyone runs into any issues let me know.

Hey Calvin, thanks for the post! Very helpful…just one thing I’m stuck on -
# Consider using a simple cronjob that looks like this:
# 30 23 * * * $HOME/bin/yadd.sh
# where yadd.sh looks like this:
# #!/bin/bash
# curl http://www.yoursite.com/yadd.php
Not sure what this means exactly?! How does this info fit in with the form on delicious:
job_name
out_name
out_pass
out_url
out_time
out_blog_id
out_cat_id

Cron is a Unix service that allows you to schedule commands to run at periodic intervals (equivalent to Window’s Task Scheduler). How to set it up sometimes depends on where your blog is hosted, so I would contact your hosting service for assistance. It might be simpler to setup a scheduled task to hit that URL on another machine you’re familiar with.
If you’re still unsure of what to do, email me and I’ll see if I can help.
