pop_newsletter and del.icio.us

[turps]

I think del.icio.us is one of the best websites out there.

For a while I've been thinking about creating one for pop_newsletter, somewhere where every story that's listed is also added to a del.icio.us page, leading to an easily searchable data base of popfic. Now, I know there's going to be overlap with shinyandnew, but the more the better I feel.

I've created a page for the newsletter and tagged the first lot of stories here

As you can see, you can search by pairing, author, rating, crossover and type.

Which is where I'd love some help. I've just tagged edition 75, which means there's another 74 to do. While I will do them all if I have to, there's only so many hours in the day so if I could have some help that would be fantastic.

A knowledge of how del.icio.us works would be an advantage, but it's very easy to pick up, so if you're a total newbie to the site that's fine.

If you're interested, just comment. Or if you think I've missed something/made a mistake in how I've created the page, let me know too :)

ETA: wistfuljane is a star and is organising and tagging everything. So watch out for a fully organised and shiny pop_newsletter del.icio.us page very soon!

I can help, but won't have time until Saturday if there is still stuff to be tagged then.

Also, great idea!

wistfuljane has offered to do the whole thing, so I'm going to hand over to her.

Thank you so much for the offer though &hearts

\o/ Count me in as your first volunteer! In fact, if you want, you can count me in to organize & tag the whole entire archive (fic only, you wanted, right?).

Dude? Are you serious? Because wow, that would be awesome. To me dotcoms_refresh is a shining example of how amazing a del.icio.us page can be. So I know you'd get it perfect.

And yeah, fic only.

[wistfuljane.livejournal.com]

Yup, I am serious! You know me & del.icio.us; I'm always happy to organize & tag one. So if you're interested, let me know how you want to format & organize pop_newsletter's del.icio.us and stuff!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I'll email you. Thank you!

That's an awesome idea!

Are you only tagging the fic? Because there are quite a few times when I've wanted to find an interview or something, and they're almost harder to track down than the stories.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

My initial idea was only fic, but I don't see why that couldn't be extended to interviews too.

Do you mean the media interviews? Or media and print? Not that it matters really, it's just a case of assigning and adding tags.

It would be nice to add an overview of each interview in the description box. Of course it would take time to do them all but it would be a worthwhile undertaking. Something for when wistfuljane has worked her magic on the fic :)

Do you mean the media interviews? Or media and print?

Both, really. Everything that could be considered canon, I guess.

once something is tagged, can the tag be changed? Because I'm looking at one of mine and it's got a "het" tag? weh?

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It can, and that was my bad. I added the het tag for A's fic and tagged yours by mistake. It's fixed now.

Thanks Terri

wistfuljane is a rock star at that stuff. Cool idea Terri!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

She really is. I'm in awe at how she gets things organised!

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

wistfuljane is awesome!!

I just wish del.icio.us had a better interface, as it is I hate it with a passion and it's completely useless for my purposes :-/

[turps33.livejournal.com]

She really is :)

That's shame you can't use del.icio.us :(

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

If it were possible to use it for my recs I could probably learn to live with the interface but the description box is far too tiny. Some time ago I remember people talking about a new version that was probably going to have a larger description box but I don't know what happened with that.
