i'd be willing to help, but i don't know anything about delicious.com so i'd have to be taught. :]

Yay! And do not worry, delicious is very simple.

(1) I'll need to know which filter you'd prefer to take, Blair/Chuck or News/General. News/General is quite a bit more work, but possibly more interesting if you don't ship Blair/Chuck.

(2) I'll need whichever e-mail you'd like to use for newsletter business, preferably one you check daily. (We use a mailing list to communicate.)

(3) Once I friend you with the watcher journal (don't friend back), you should review the following sections of our manual: Getting Setup (which will include links to a couple programs you'll need to download), Finding Links, Adding Links to Delicious and All About Tagging. Once you've chosen your filter, you can read its primer in the Learning Your Filter section. (Blair/Chuck filter = shipping filter.)

I (caitiedidit) will be happy to answer any questions you might have, either via this thread, by PM, or by e-mail (caitiedidit@gmail.com).

1. i can do Blair/Chuck, since i ship them and everything. :]

2. lauradunnxx@gmail.com

3. sounds good! i'll let you know if i have any questions.

(Sorry about the previous comment!fail!)

That works out well! Since you ship them, you're probably already a member of blair_chuck. (Technically the filter has two or three other B/C comms in it, but they never post.) So if you already use Firefox, you'll probably hardly ever have to log in to the watcher journal.

Anyway, you're all set on our end! Just comment here when you're ready to start so we can ease off collecting the links and give you a chance to try out the system. Then I'll give the links you've tagged a once-over, and you can officially take over. :)
