[Webpub] del.icio.us options

[Jonathan Slate]

There are a couple of tools in the Firefox Web Developer extension that 
might be helpful. You can get the extension here: 
http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/

It's an awesome extension with an unbelievable number of useful 
functions for Web developers. Among them are a couple of tools that 
display information about the links in a Web page. And if you aren't 
using Firefox, I recommend that you do. :) And if you haven't used 
extensions before, don't worry, it's really easy to install them.

Information > Display Link Details
Information >  View Link Information

If you go to the page with the links on del.icio.us and try one of those 
options, it might give you something close to what you are looking for.

Good luck,
Jonathan
