TypePad + TypeLists + del.icio.us

TypePad + TypeLists + del.icio.us . . . need some help getting them to play well with each other.
I've spent the past hour trying to figure this out so I figured it's time to turn to the hive mind . . .
I want to use a pair of TypeLists based on subsets of my del.icio.us feed to create a pair of sidebars. One would be posts with a tag "forblog" and one with the tag "postsIlikedfromMyfriendsblogs" (or something). The notion is that the former posts are things found on the Intarweb I want to spotlight and the later are recent posts from friends' blogs that I want to spotlight.
It appears this is doable as explained in the del.icio.us help pages:
http://del.icio.us/help/linkrolls
Shows me how to add all my links--I tried it and it worked.
This:
http://del.icio.us/help/json
explains how to modify the javascript to pull just a posts with a certain tag or combo of tags. I don't know javascript well and my trial and error tweaking of the standard script don't work.
I'm not using advanced templates on TypePad and don't want to.
I do, however, want to display both the link and my extended entry about the link in these TypeList/sidebars.
It probably doesn't matter, but the blog in question is:
joygantic.typepad.com
And the del.icio.us feed is:
http://del.icio.us/joygantic

To set up a feed on your sidebar, go to:
TypePad Home > Your Weblogs > Your Blog > Design > Your Blog Templates > Content
You'll need the address for your RSS feed. That's here:
