Working with Neil was a great first experience on oDesk.  He started the project right after it was assigned, he asked just enough questions to get the work done, and he completed the task ahead of schedule.  I'd definitely hire Neil again for a job.

A PHP function is needed to automatically login and submit a bookmark (link) to BlinkList (www.blinklist.com). 

The function parameters are: 
INPUT 
$user = BlinkList username (string) 
$pass = BlinkList password (string) 
$address = URL to be bookmarked (string) 
$title = Title of bookmark (string) 
$descr = Description (Notes) of bookmark (string) 
$tags = Tags (Add to List) for bookmark (comma separated string) 

OUTPUT 
$array[0] = 1 (success), 2 (failure with known reason), 3 (failure with unknown reason) 
$array[1] = Output if failure (string). If known reason use descriptive string, ie. "Login failed". If unknown reason use last cURL response. 

Other requirements 
- Must use the cURL library 
- Must have adequate error handling, including but not limited to situations like "login failed", "invalid bookmark URL", "bookmark already exists", and "connection timed out" 
- Must be able to handle multiple submissions by different users in quick sequence (ie. a logout may be required before a new user logs in, and cookies must be respected) 
- The cURL USERAGENT should be customizable and defined at the top of the function in a string variable
