linking to pinboard accounts using the < user name > tag

Title:
linking to pinboard accounts using the < user name > tag

Area:
linking to accounts on other services

Summary:
Add the ability to link to Pinboard accounts using the snazzy HTML tags. Something like < user name="damalur" site="pinboard.in" >, maybe!

Description:
Lots of fans (myself included) have made the exodus from Delicious to Pinboard, so it'd be great to see support for linking to Pinboard accounts. I know you guys have a lot on your plates and that you're trying to implement some highly anticipated new features, but the next time this function could be easily added, I'd love to see it.

Do you know what the syntax is for linking to pinboard accounts? Like, what's the equivalent of the "journal", and what's the equivalent of the "profile"?

Azz mentions that in http://dw-suggestions.dreamwidth.org/606232.html.

It's kind of buried in the thread ninetydegres links above, but the new profile form is http://pinboard.in/u:damalur/profile/public/. ("Journal" would be at http://pinboard.in/u:damalur.)

For the record, lots of people who aren't fannish are on pinboard too. :)

Oh yay! I'm a fellow Pinboarder, and I'd just realized that Diigo is a linking option on DW but Pinboard isn't yet. Definitely hoping this gets implemented!
