The best way to save a link is to add a Delicious bookmarklet to your browser toolbar so you can instantly save links as you’re bouncing around the web. Or, as you’re browsing Delicious, click "save" next to any link or stack you find interesting.

To get started, visit the stack tab on your profile page and click “create stack.” Choose at least three links, add juicy descriptions, pick the best images, choose the layout, and shuffle the order of links. When you’re all set, click publish to share your Delicious stack.
