[community profile] pop_newsletter and del.icio.us

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

For a while I've been thinking about creating one for [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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: [livejournal.com profile] 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!

\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?).

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.

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?

[livejournal.com profile] wistfuljane is a rock star at that stuff. Cool idea Terri!

[livejournal.com profile] 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 :-/
