Social bookmarking

Now that we know how to build a simple form and help the user with their data entry, our next step is to do something useful with their input. We'll now extend our simple two field form to save the data the user has entered--a URL and a description--to the del.icio.us social bookmarking system.

If you're not familiar with del.icio.us then you'll find a link below to a description, along with instructions for obtaining an account that you can use with this tutorial. If you already have an account, then go right ahead and add the submission details.

(If you want to get the completed source code, it's available here.)
