    Right now, the CSS tags that Diigo provides just aren't rich enough to do very nice formatting when inserted in blogs. In particular, the Tags text has no configurable markup around it.



    Regarding CSS names, I think Diigo-title and Diigo-description would be better than the unadorned names.



    I would like an option to produce the daily links as an unordered list rather than a sequence of paragraphs.

    Could you give us some specific suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Here's what del.icio.us does for a couple of entries:

    <ul class="delicious">
    <li>
    <p class="delicious-link"><a href="http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9901685-7.html?tag=nefd.lede"&gt;Ringside Networks brings open source to social networking | Tech news blog - CNET News.com</a></p>
    <p class="delicious-extended">"Ringside Networks on Tuesday plans to announce an open-source server for running social applications on existing Web sites, Facebook, and other social-networking destinations in the future."</p>
    <p class="delicious-tags">(tags: <a href="http://del.icio.us/bobsutor/opensource"&gt;opensource&lt;/a&gt; <a href="http://del.icio.us/bobsutor/socialnetworking"&gt;socialnetworking&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
    </li>
    <li>
    <p class="delicious-link"><a href="http://www.news.com/newsblog/8301-10784_3-9901973-7.html?tag=nefd.top"&gt;IBM invests in open-source database firm EnterpriseDB | Tech news blog - CNET News.com</a></p>
    <p class="delicious-extended">"IBM, a fan of many open-source projects, has taken a minority stake in EnterpriseDB, an open-source database that competes with Oracle and MySQL."</p>
    <p class="delicious-tags">(tags: <a href="http://del.icio.us/bobsutor/ibm"&gt;ibm&lt;/a&gt; <a href="http://del.icio.us/bobsutor/database"&gt;database&lt;/a&gt; <a href="http://del.icio.us/bobsutor/opensource"&gt;opensource&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
    </li>
    </ul>

    Something like this would be fine, with extensions for your other material. I would also like the option to use unordered lists or paragraphs.

    I really like Diigo; I canceled by del.icio.us account once I started using this. Keep up the good work!

    Bob,

    Two new changes are implemented now -

    1. better HTML format as you suggested
    2. post interval setting: daily, twice daily and weekly

    Please take a look and advise any issue. Thanks!
