Feb 9 2011 at 8:43 am -You should just merge with pinboard.
Pinboard Site Tour — Better Online Bookmarking! : The description field can be any length. Any URLs in the description will be automatically hyperlinked. You can also use blockquote tags in the description for quoted text. If there is any selected text on the page when you click the bookmarklet it gets automatically pasted into the description field. /unlimited descriptn space, plus! highlighted text picked up --like in my heddays w dlcs bkmrklt-- sold!!
Save & Secure Bookmarks With Pinboard : Just head over to the Delicious Bookmark export page, select to include your notes and tags, and click Export. Pinboard can import everything you’ve saved in Delicious, tags and notes included, so no reason to leave anything behind. Save your export file in a safe place; we’ll need it in a few moments.

I just went Settings > Export / Download Your Delicious Bookmarks , hit the Export button and 30 seconds latter I had an HTML file containing my bookmarks.
whew that's nice dlcs is up now. so that was temporary. better not delay though.
Settings & Export / Download Your Delicious Bookmarks
This tool creates a list of all your bookmarks in a format understandable by most browsers. You can save the generated page (as HTML) and import it into your browser -- or anything else that accepts bookmarks in a standard format. Save a copy of your Delicious bookmarks to your computer as a HTML file.
include my tags
include my notes
export bookmarks with the following tags (space delimited)
If you choose the option to include your tags, they will be in your export even if you don't see them on the page -- you can view the source of the file to make sure your tags are there. Also note that if you have created tag bundles, they will not be preserved in your exported file. This is a limitation of the export file format.

... 2011/9/4 trying out evernote. problem: exported dlcs pgmrk file would not sync as a note ('error' ~ wh I accept as probably due to all my weird usage like long titles or whatever). so saved current file (14,438 pgmrks) just on macbk computer.
figure that's ok; anyway, already have pinboard acting as an online backup. (and I maybe like pinboard interface better, too. does pick up highlighted text! but so far still going w dlcs since used to it and since pinboard settings will auto-add fr dlcs ie 'mirror' it.)
Pinboard: your settings / settings tab [scroll down: General - Twitter - Delicious] .

| Auto-add bookmarks that appear in the RSS feed for this delicious account ? | |
| and mark them as | |
so, checked: currently my pinboard has my dlcs pgmrks only up to five days ago. ah: maybe bcs that is when I stopped allowing cookies on this computer ~ but, no, that shld not effect sth th happens regardless of what computer, right? it's from one cloud to another, whatever my input computer, ie whtver I work fr? so, lkg back thr these bkmrkd pages & found this dlww post w notes. have not yet resolved mirroring qstn.
...well, as of now there are only four pgmrks not mirrored. from 2-3 Sept. all ytube vid songs Crimson & Clover, then three covers fr Castlecomer band. these do show up in the RSS feed (whereas the one pgmrk fr tonight re Dlcs to Evernote does not yet, as might expect.) anyway maybe those most recent pgmrks will be auto-added. just give it a little while and check back.
UPDATE 9/5 pm Yep! those four song vid pgmkrs CrimsonClover then Castlecomer all there now! so, in future be aware that may take a couple days, that's no problem.
..also, I d n recall paying for pinboard. but I must have? not noted in dlww, but maybe in note on my compaq .. ? no 'pinboard' found in my gmail, cld check html .. is it poss I imported & have been auto adding and never actually joined? no, c'mon, that's gotta happen at login. and I have a vague idea that I liked the amount I paid $8 sth.
_________
....also, hmm. this number at top my page seems be the tally of pgmrks on pinboard
crrnt dlcs tally 14348. so, missing some 200+? was checking the mirroring & lkg to see why last few days not picked up yet fr rss; but that's more than just the few fr last few days... / checked the very earliest z0508 = earliest WHEN tag: yes appears to have all those. good. not like it has just deleted oldest bcs of some minimum or sth. so, I don't know, maybe just has not accepted some pgrmks bcs problems w title length or otherwise w code? or maybe that '14111' is not accurate? in fact, on setting page it says that is the number imported on 2/10/11. well it says 2/11/11 imported 14112 ok so +1 wh maybe I deleted 1. and Yes, looks right. since then the month totals add up to that 200+: z1103: 5. z1104: 42. z1105: 40. z1106: 51. z1107: 15. z1108: 47. proving useful, these WHEN tags. so maybe there's a bug where the Auto-add from dlcs rss is not discerned by that tally. ok, that'd be a close to best case explanation. means just the number wrong, but all bkmrks there.

ps. (still 9/4). have now had several moments of not knowing why a website acting strangely: I login and nothing happens. it does not say my login is wrong, but I am not signed in now. then I remember. this is because I have set my Firefox > Preferences to NOT allow cookies except from sites I specify:
Firefox > Preference - Privacy: [UNCHECKED] Accept cookies from sites
- Exceptions = ALLOW specified sites, where I list those I use regularly = blogger, dlcs, gmail.
thedayislikewidewater.blogspot.com *have to add each of my private blogspots individually or it will not redirect! happened yesterday when went to export my blogs, tried to view Owliver got 503 error, thought maybe a problem bcs not logged in for so long, maybe format of blog needed to be updated and too much time now passed. then happened again w Fromnotebooks, realized and added those and also mdlww to cookies Exceptions.
also had to add Evernote, after good while of confusion about whether their site was wack, no online version of my account. then duh need to allow cookies.
also Pinboard.
this will probably happen again. but for now, I do like allowing only cookies from site I say...
