ADOPT ME! Press This! was completely revamped in WordPres 4.2 and as such I will be focusing any effort that may have been put into Linkmarklet into that feature. As a result I am actively seeking someone to take over development of Linkmarklet. Please contact me if you are interested in taking over development of Linkmarklet. Thank you for considering!
This is a WordPress plugin. Official download available on the WordPress Plugin Directory.
Linkmarklet is an alternative to the Press This! bookmarklet aimed at rapid linkblogging. Quickly post while saving a link to a Custom Field.
Instead of the traditional Press This! interface, Linkmarklet offers a much more streamlined UI allowing you to linkblog quickly. Upon clicking the bookmarklet, Linkmarklet will present you with a simple way of editing the page title, the page link, the page slug, and the post content. In the settings you can define three things:
- The category to which Linkmarklet posts will be added
- The Custom Field name you're using to store the submitted link
- The Post Format you would like to use for each post
- Whether or not to Future Post the current post and by how many minutes compared to your future-most scheduled post
That's about it. Clicking Publish pushes the entry live instantly (or schedules it). Clicking Save will store the post as a Draft.
- Download the plugin and extract the files
- Upload
linkmarklet
to your~/wp-content/plugins/
directory - Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
- Install the bookmarklet provided on the
Settings > Linkmarklet
screen - Customize your installation using the
Settings > Linkmarklet
menu in the WordPress admin
- Install the bookmarklet provided on the
Settings > Linkmarklet
screen - When you'd like to linkblog a page you're viewing, simply click the bookmarklet and publish

<dd>Removed unwanted escaping of post content that was causing issue with Markdown and inline HTML</dd>
<dt>0.5.1</dt>
<dd>Fixed an issue where offiste image processing would not take place if using HTTPS</dd>

<dd>Support for offsite images. If you include a Markdown-formatted image (e.g. <code>![Alt text](http://example.com/image.jpg)</code>) it will be downloaded and imported into your Media library so as to not hotlink someone else's image. The image will be wrapped a link to the source article so as to mimic OEMBED policies. <strong>Note:</strong> image titles are not supported at this time.</dd>
<dt>0.4</dt>
<dd>Support for Future Publishing. If you're like me, you like to bulk-linkblog, but you don't want to innundate readers with tons of posts all at once. There's now a setting that will let you auto-schedule a post to go live within a timeframe after your future-most-scheduled post. You can also set a 'bumper' of time between your most recently published posts.</dd>
