Description
FreshTags is a Blogger hack designed to enable the integration of categories into the Blogger system. A list of categories pulled from your Del.icio.us account is displayed in the sidebar of the blog with the most recent posts in any selected category directly below that. The script also tries to detect what categories were being viewed in the previous page and auto-select those for the user.
A great system, although it slows the page load time some because it must load Del.icio.us data before the page can generate.
Method
Please see the homepage for complete instructions and code.
