[Javascript, DHTML] Easiest way to add del.icio.us post from Blogger

problem: There's no way in hell you can find any ready-to-use pluggable html snippet to add the current page of your blogger blog (current version) to the user's del.icio.us links.

solution: copy-paste the following wherever you want:

<a href='' id='delicious'>
<img alt='Add the butchers to your Del.icio.us!'
height='15'
src='http://images.del.icio.us/static/img/delicious.42px.gif'/>

</a>
<script language='javascript'
type='text/javascript'>

var currentURL = window.location;
document.getElementById('delicious').href =
"http://del.icio.us/post?url=" + currentURL;

</script>


I am lazy, so I was looking for something to copy-paste into the html and amen. After an hour or so of roaming without finding anything usable as-it-is, I decided my laziness was costing me more than actually making the thing myself (what the heck). So I did it. This technique obviously will work with any of the linksharing networks (digg and others) or whatever, but the difference is I could find ready-to-plug snippet for the others. Maybe it'll save some precious hours of laziness to some other copy-paste butcher.
