Ah, bugger.... I deleted my original response to add to the bottom. Sorry about the mix-up.
*nudges* You've been busy, busy, busy...! Thanks for all the links, etc. :)
On a note for recommendations for Delicious alternatives, I would argue against Google bookmarks, unless you're just doing a basic save with a couple of tags. Anything more intensive is lost on the site. :\ Unless the service has changed since February... I played with it for about 2 months & gave it up as inadequate for my needs.
Oh... and I decided to bite the bullet & join Pinboard (username = shibela \o/). :P I figure at this point, I've got 37 bookmarks from Delicious that I'll have to add "by hand", but it's better than the alternative of importing my bookmarks from there right now as they've managed to break up my most import tags, thus rendering them useless.
They did...but then so did Pinboard on the import. :\ However, I'm coming close to having it all fixed up....erm, sort of close -- I only have some 480 or so to do by hand before I can do the mass re-naming API route again. LOL! The thing is is that I'm able to do something about it. \o/ And I might still end up changing the cursed word count tags later on as I figure out exactly what I want to do with them. But...they'll be easier to change by that point than what I'm dealing with currently.
I kept putting off changing my commas because I couldn't make up my mind how I wanted it to "look." /o\ But.... it's all changed now at Pinboard. *happy dances*
I just found a new love for Pinboard, too.... You know how I'll list alternate links for my bookmarks if I know / find them? Well, they are actually "live" links in the Notes section of the bookmarks on Pinboard. I'm sure you're already aware of this but... That is sooo cool! :D Well, that & the fact that re-naming my tags was practically a zen experience... *snorts* (So much easier than Diigo!!)
Right now, Delicious is being all finicky with page-loading--lots of 502 errors. :P And the API for re-naming tags didn't work when I tried it the other night (while I was zenning out at Pinboard w/ the re-naming).
It's an API & is pretty easy to use. What I did was I had one tab (Firefox is my browser) open to my pinboard page (although for the word counts, I ended up writing down the numbers I was changing because flipping back & forth was irritating after the first 5 times :D), and then I had another tab open for the renaming.
The API "code" that you put into your address bar is:
The first time you do this (per 'session', I think), it will ask for your Pinboard username & password, and then it's all easy-peasy -- except for the typing of the old tags & new tags, but still.... It works pretty fast -- you can search the new tag w/ results within minutes of the change, although, it may take anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour for your tag list to reflect the changes.

Just added you in pinboard! So they totally borked your word count tags? Cursed comma separation. :(

How do you re-name tags? I haven't figured that out yet.
Cursed delicious, why did you have to change!?! Damn real world issues like funding and owners, etc.
