I am slightly behind the times here. And that’s a bit of an understatement.

It all started when I wanted to find some old bookmarks that I had mislaid over the years. Remembering that I had spent ages organising my bookmarks on Delicious I decided to go visit.

I was very confused to find the message that “Your connection is not private”. But I bravely Advanced and clicked on “Proceed to del.icio.us (unsafe)” and was very pleased to see everything still all there. Then it was just a case of clicking on Profile > Settings > Export and I have all my old links with tags and notes.

It was only then that I decided to find out what happened and was surprised to find that Delicious had been shut down and become read-only on June 15 2017.
