Hi Tim,
Someday we'll update the "daily blog posting" feature, and that update
will likely include the ability to only post items from a certain tag.
We don't have a date planned for that though.
If you don't want to wait indefinitely, it sounds like you could use the
private saving feature to keep sensitive items hidden from your blog.
(I'm not sure you've tried this. If you have, you can skip this
paragraph!) Try saving a new bookmark or editing an existing bookmark
and select the "do not share" checkbox. If that checkbox isn't there,
you'll have to enable priving saving in your settings: go to
http://del.icio.us/settings and select "private saving" under
"Bookmarks". Then, you can make your J. K. Rowling and KVM bookmarks
private, and they won't be seen by other people on del.icio.us or posted
to your blog.
Another option is to look into the various Wordpress plugins for
integrating del.icio.us posts into your blog.
http://heisel.org/projects/ is one example of a plugin that might do
what you're interested in.
