Prior to WordPress version 2.5, it had a very handy bookmarklet that let you create a post or a link in your blog based on any page that you are on.  In WordPress version 2.5 this was removed, then replaced with the ‘Press This’ bookmarklet.  This can be found under the Tools menu in your WordPress admin and it is great for creating new posts.  But it does not allow for the quick creation of links to use in your blogrolls.

The current Press This bookmarklet

This new plugin adds this missing functionality.  To install this plugin you can either search for ‘link this bookmarklet’ in the plugin admin section of your blog, or alternatively download the zip file directly from the WordPress Plugin Directory. Once it’s installed, there aren’t any options or settings pages, it just adds a link next to the ‘Visit plugin site’ on the plugin’s listing on the admin page

Add this link to your browser’s bookmarks/favourites bar.  That’s it, you’re done.

Now, when you’re on a page that you want to add to your site as a link, click the bookmarklet and the form will appear in the top right of the page.  It will auto populate the name and url of the page.  You can then optionally put in a description and add it to specific link categories.

  
This is what the bookmarklet looks like

As always, please leave any comments/suggestions below.  But if you have a bug report for the plugin, please leave it on the WordPress plugins forum here so I can keep track of the issues.
