del.icio.us George Just signed up and am being very thick. The 'add a simple bookmarklet to your browser' part is beyond me. [MI]

I just want to try it out, but I don't understand what it means by adding a bookmarklet to my link bar. Add it as a favourite? But then it's just in my favourites on this machine. Nothing has been magically added to my browser...Have I missed the point? Please note, I'm a week into giving up smoking. Patience and rational thought are in short supply, so please don't laugh at my ignorance. Please help me before I explode...

  • What browser are you using?
  • OK, I'll assume since you said 'favourites' that you are using Internet Explorer. If you want to have access to the del.icio.us posting buttons you'll want to go to the View menu, choose Toolbars and enable the Links Bar. Then add the del.icio.us posting links to that. Personally I just keep 'Popup post to del.icio.us' as the bottom item of my Opera bookmarks, no wasted screen real-estate and I can get to it with an alt-b, up, enter.
  • Sorry, yeah, I'm on IE (in work, but it's also what gets used at home). Thanks chaps. I'll give it a go. God Bless You.
  • Don't use IE anymore, use firefox. Much better.
  • I'm a week into giving up smoking Then the worst of it has passed. Keep it up, you'll find a continuous improvement is operating, although you may feel a little light-headed for a while -- I expect it's all that extra oxygen. Buy a big box of spring water and slug a cold glass of it when you need a cig. It doesn't matter if you smoke a joint or three either, once you've kicked nicotine you can kill off the smoking reflex later.
  • VERY light-headed sometimes. Plus irratable and eating like crazy. I realise it's just the breaking the habit bit now, so am soldiering on. I went off weed independently about 6 months ago anyway - just lost its charm, so not really missing that, thank god. Thanks for support!
  • Well if you got any weed left over, please send it my way, I been dry for best part of a year & am startin to go bugfuck.
  • From IT support to (potential) drug deals in 6 posts. Reason #325 why Mofi rrrocks! Dear internets monitoring service - neither I nor Nostrils here condone the use of illegal substances. We're just showing off.
  • That's not true. I absolutely condone the the use of illegal substances. By me. Because, you know, I am totally, like, uh.. what were we talking about again? Anyone want a pizza? Coz like I'm.. oh wait, there's this talking crow over here wants to take me somewhere.. back later..
  • Nostril, come to the SC meetup later this month, and the dry spell can be ended. More people selling than buying around here =)
  • "I been dry for best part of a year & am startin to go bugfuck." Holy hell man... come to my neck of the woods (literally, Pacific NW). Like LoopyG states (pardon the pun) we cannot get rid of it up here. Oh, and Nos, it has orange bits and is stanky. Hellloooooo NURSE!
  • I can't remember how many conversations I had in Santa Cruz that went like Nostrildamus's. Seriously. I can't. Me: Hahahahahaaaa. Them: Hahahahaaaaa. Me: What were we talking about? Them: I dunno, let's get some pizza. Ah, Santa Cruz.
  • Tracicle, at times like that, my vegan tendencies fly out the window in favor for greasy goodness.... so much melted cheese....
