Why don't my bookmarks get posted immediately?

Unit.licio.us uses the built-in WordPress cron feature to automate the process of searching Del.icio.us accounts. While not a true 'cronjob', as long as the blog has a decent amount of traffic the plugin will effectively check for new tweets once an hour. This is because WordPress's cron runs on each page-load and checks to see if it has been longer than the scheduled interval since the function was last run. If so, it runs the function and sets the timer forward. So, while your bookmarks won't appear instantly, there should be a minimal amount of time between postings.

Why are my bookmarks displaying like regular blog posts?

Unit.licio.us posts are regular WordPress posts but with some Del.icio.us specific information embedded in each one. The bookmark URL is stored in a custom field named ‘link’ attached to each post. How you choose to display this is up to you. A default theme isn’t likely to have anything built in to handle Unit.licio.us posts and will simply display them as it would any other post.
