Custom tags + My Delicious = Blogger Categories

Stewart Pollock (parkbench) recent post on using Zoundry illustrates an approach to creating a categories for his Blogger.com based blog using Delicious.

... Blogger does not make categories available but before this update to Zoundry Blog Writer I found a suggestion to use del.icio.us tags to create categories.
Any reader can see the current tags I have for this blog at http://del.icio.us/parkbench, and can then search within the tagged blog entries using the del.icio.us index of blog entries.

If you notice in his blog, he has categorized links at the bottom of his post labeled 'File under' pointing to his Delicious tagspace.

Currently Steve creates this manually by choosing the CustomTagSpace context menu option. Zoundry Blog Writer has a capability for one to add their own tagspaces, but we had not enabled (it became a todo item). Starting with build 126 (released Sept 6), we have enabled this capability, though we still do not have a UI. If you are comfortable in modifying a xml configuration file, then you can add custom tags to the menu system.

Instructions on how to add you own tags can be found here at our forums.
