Once you register you have access to a few more features, including importing and exporting of bookmarks. (Un)fortunately, the import feature is currently disabled while they fix some bugs. So for now, the best way to import is to do it as you go along.
also, i've been saving bookmarks, but haven't really integrated it into my browsing habits.
One of the nice things with del.icio.us is that you can create a button in your task bar to save the bookmarks. In that way, instead of clicking on "Bookmarks > Bookmark this page", you click on the "post to del.icio.us" button. For more info on how to add those buttons, have a look at the "Installing del.icio.us Buttons" on this page:

if anyone has any tips on tagging or on actually using delicious, i'm all ears!
Tags are just categories that help you organize your bookmarks. They can be whatever you want. For example, "FLOSS" is one tag I use and "magazine" is another. So, any sites that deal with FLOSS I tag with "FLOSS" and any on-line magazines, like Wired, I tag with "magazine." It's just like creating a FLOSS folder and a magazine folder in your browser's bookmark feature. On other nice feature of tags is that you can assign more than one tag to a bookmark. So something that is a FLOSS magazine will have both tags.
Hopefully that clears things up a little. In either case, post back and let us know how things go. We can also go over this at the next CWE-LUG meeting.
