As of today the first official release of Delicious Blog is available.

Delicious Blog is a Drupal module which emulates the Delicious.com daily blog posting tool since this tool does not work for Drupal. It uses the XML feed of your bookmarks to fetch the latest bookmarks and create a new node of your choice containing the links, much like on a WordPress blog.

For me, this has always been one of the things I missed the most and on my Drupal sites. Delicious.com uses the XML-RPC protocol to send out these blog posts, but the data send out seems to be rejected by the Drupal implementation of XML-RPC. Other solutions such as the FeedAPI or SimpleFeed module can only create one node per bookmark which is also not what I wanted. So, after almost 2 years of Drupal core and custom module development I finally made my first public module contribution. Hooray for me!

It seems Google Reader changed the layout. It looks nice and less bloated but I can't help feeling like some CSS file is missing and not loaded correctly.
