WordPress Support for Posting to Simpy 
« Tags are NOT a Panacea; Tags misapplied | Main | Search Simpy directly from Firefox »
Martin from TipMonkies just added "Post to Simpy" to his WordPress-powered blog. I asked Martin to describe how he did it, and here is what he said, slightly paraphrased:
Here's the "Post to simpy" code:
<a href="http://simpy.com/simpy/LinkAdd.do?title=<?php the_title() ?>&href=<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="Post to Simpy">Post to Simpy</a>
Pretty straightforward, really. You could use & instead of & but then the page won't end up as valid XHTML so that's why I replaced that. Other variables (like notes for example) could be added to the link, but would require some extra work on the blogging software's side which is why they're not included. I suppose adding tags is possible as well but I, for example, don't use the same tags on TipMonkies as I do on del.icio.us though (I have much more precise tags on bookmarking sites, as can be seen here for example.)
