I’ve just uploaded a new WordPress plugin that was inspired by my wife setting up her new site.  She was adding people to her blogroll and having to keep copying their urls and going into the WordPress admin section.  This was getting tedious, so I’ve made a plugin that creates a bookmarklet you can add to your browser that pops up a form to add the page you’re on directly to your site’s links.  It’s similar to the built-in ‘Press This’ bookmarklet, except for links instead of posts.

There is a more detailed description of the plugin & how it works on the plugin page, and you can install it directly through your WordPress admin section or download it from the WordPress Plugin Directory.
