Aha, 2 things, I only picked up on the first one. If you have time, let me know what didn’t work with the bookmarklet. As for 2, if you do it, please let me know, so I can point to it on Simpy’s blog and mailing list(s). If you don’t do it, I will. (a bit of JavaScript that you can embed in the page)

There two parts to what I was looking at:

1. A bookmarklet that would let me save and tag blog posts I left comments on.
2. A way of displaying the tagged blog posts on the home page of my blog.

Your bookmarklet (which did not work for me) is only the first part, the second part is getting the information out of the Simpy API to display. It would not be hard and if I get the chance I will do it. But it will take me time, unlike the del.icio.us solution, which was prepacked and ready to use.

I intend to keep using Simpy and del.icio.us, I love the comma delimited tags in Simpy and the sync with del.icio.us, but at the moment there are more extras for del.icio.us. And after the recent Bloglines adventures I will make use of two good services rather than one.

That should be SUPER easy with Simpy!
I would simply modify this bookmarklet.

Let me try modifying it right here…

javascript:q=location.href;e = ”+ (window.getSelection ? window.getSelection() : document.getSelection ? document.getSelection() : document.selection.createRange().text);p=document.title;window.location.href=’http://www.simpy.com/simpy/LinkAddSave.do?.doneURI=’+encodeURIComponent(q)+&href=’+escape(q)+’&title=’+encodeURIComponent(p)+’&accessType=1&tags=SELF&note=’+encodeURIComponent(e).replace(/ /g, ‘+’);

There, I _think_ that’s all.
I simply added “&tags=SELF” towards the end of the bookmarklet, and removed the old “&tags=….” bit.

Now, just save this bookmarklet like any other bookmarklet.
When you leave a comment on a blog simply click on the bookmarklet in your browser, and the current page will be saved and tagged with the tag “SELF”.
You will never even leave the page you are on! (i.e. no need to come to Simpy)

Easy.
Please let me know if you need any help or the above doesn’t work.
