WordPress Bookmarklet Hack

December 23, 2007 – 20:33

WordPress Bookmarklet Hack is a nifty little WordPress ‘hack’ that involves you going to the Write tab in your WordPress admin panel and dragging the little ‘Press It’ link in the bottom-left corner to your browser bookmarks or quick links toolbar. You must do this from your own blog admin screen – the name of your blog appears in the bookmark toolbar with the Press It label.

Now, whenever you get to any page or article on the web that you want to blog about, this little Javascript code snippet opens up your WordPress Edit window with the link and title of the article already filled in for you in WordPress. All you need to do is add your own little bit of wisdom or insight about whatever it is you blogged about, add any links to pics or whatever, and Voila! You have just created a blog post without the hassle of having to go and log in and navigate down the blog dir structure to get to the Post page.
