  Hello.
  I had stick with delicious because the RSS feed was convenient. I had all those links displayed in my blog with no worries. However, recently it was not working properly. Therefore I gave a try to diigo and start.me, but they were not built to be shared in an external site like wordpress. Could you recommend me a place to import my old bookmarks (I have them safe) and to carry on recommending links to my blog readers?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  I don’t know of any other bookmarks sites supported by WordPress, but I do know that WordPress has its own links section. Have you tried it before? It’s an old feature, but pretty neat. Just go to your WP admin, on the left menu go to Links > Add new. You can add images to a link and categorize them, just like you do with your posts. And you can import links if they are saved in OPML format. Just follow the instructions on this support page: https://en.support.wordpress.com/blogroll/import-export-links/ To display them on your site, you only need to add the Links Widget to a sidebar (https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/links-widget/).
  However there isn’t any bookmarklet to favorite links and let them be added automatically to your site. You would have to do that manually, which isn’t very convenient.
  Alternatively, you could use the Press this button to share links in a faster way, however, they would be posted like a regular post, so you wouldn’t have them as bookmarks (https://en.support.wordpress.com/press-this/).
  Hope this was useful!

  Thanks but I do wish to have the practicality to add new links and not display them as blog entries. But again, thanks for your suggestions.
