Blogging is about more than sharing your ideas. It’s about sharing your discoveries: quotes, images, videos, announcements from awesome blogs like this one. And it’s about doing it quickly.
Collect and share bits of the web easier and faster than ever with Press This, the new WordPress bookmarklet.
Check out this video to see how it works:
For those more textually inclined, here’s the rundown:
- Drag the Press This bookmarklet to your toolbar from the Shortcuts section to the right of your post editor.
- Surf the web.
- Click the Press This button in your toolbar any time you find something cool you want to re-post. Try highlighting text first if that’s what you want to share.
- Select and arrange text, images, video, or quotes within the Press This window. Add your thoughts and edit at will.
- Publish (or save) directly from the window when you’re done.
- Ta da! Your favorite content is now live on your blog, along with your brilliant insights.
Update! The “Press This” bookmarklet is now on the Tools page of your blog.
WordPress.com News 
nice…you can do this now without downloading one of those blog apps onto your PC!!
Swell 🙂 Thank You!!
Amazing. (I’m I the first one to reply? But this is way to cool!)
great!
Wow. That looks amazing! I’ll have to give it a whirl.
Cool Thanks for this very helpful tool. 🙂
pretty quick turnaround on this third party service and bringing it into wordpress. you guys do a strong job on taking internet trends and user trends and incorporating them into wordpress.com very well. strong value add.
Awesome!!! Nice one, wordpress!
Adam♥
no audio? mp3s or podcasts?
Noel, this works ha ha..testing it on your post first.
Hadn’t this feature been around for a while? Why blog about it now?
NICE!! – NOW, I don’t have to “steal” content! – I can just “re-blog” it !!
ThanX Noel !
Wow this is is great. I love it!
Great idea! Thank you 🙂
Brilliant addition!
Oh awesome, how efficient!
this is an amazing feature…
but then for everything I want to publish, first I’d have to check whatever licensing is specified.. even then, it is a great feature..
Genius! Just pure genius.
Interesting feature, but I doubt I’d ever use it. If I had something to say about something that I saw elsewhere online, I’d need much more than blockquoting part of it and having a link going back to it.
Fantastic! Will give it a try as soon as I can.
Absolutely stellar. Thanks!
Hey, this is a cool thing!
let me see, thank u
you are addicting me
Nice, but the video doesn’t appear using Linux, Firefox and the last adobe flash plugin.
erm… doesn’t this just make it easier for people to plagiarise your content?
This is just great! Thank you for making it available. Using WordPress to publish out blog just gets better and better.
wow! its sound good! thanks
wow! it sound good! thanks
Another feature to prove that WordPress is the best blogging site on the web… now if you could just get us some social bookmarking tools we would really be cooking with gas!
Great facility ppl!!
awesome xD
Thanks a lot.
I like it.
Wow – I am thoroughly im”press”ed. Thanks for adding this feature in a way that will make blogging even easier for us.
Hmm… not sure if I’ll use this or not, but it definitely sounds worth checking out.
I’m all for sharing information. More power to the people of WordPress.
Uau!!! WONDERFUL!
We’ll see… 🙂
Hay! Noel , Thanks you very to share with us. It’s awesome updates and more productive.
it’s COOOOOL man thanks 🙂
Sounds interesting enough.
Great!
Interesting. I’m not sure what I’d use it for, but it might come in handy…
Fantastic!!!! Thanks!
🙂 sweet…
I well see
So this is a little like Evernote?
cool new feature, and cool guy with ascent talking and cool background music. Everything is just cool. 🙂
Thanks so much. 🙂
wow!!!!! AWESOME
Hello Noel, Is this a new feature? I remember it to be present from many days! Or you are just sharing this info today and not announcing it as new?
This is cool! Gonna try that it anytime soon :]
OMG…
This is a real time saver.
Keep up the innovative work! 🙂
Thanks a lot for coming up with this!!!
Nice… but… I would prefer to be able to integrate with del.icio.us. So I can config del.icio.us to publish to WordPress (good) but the post is published straight away. Would be much nicer to let us configure it so the post from del.icio.us defaulted to draft (should be straight forward it’s just XML-RPC) that way we can edit the post before publishing it. Afterall WordPress is good but it’s not the only web app we use – please play nicely with the other web apps.
Good!!!!!!!!!!! Genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks
thats smart its i good idea
Hey Noel, This looks wonderful! Will give it a try today.
nice…
Coooool!!!!!
Good booklet, post now !!!
booklet smooklet?
Stop! Stop! i can’t take any more innovations!
LOVE the visual display of what the heck it iz you have come up with!!
noel – you’re THE man – a cotton pickin genius!
this invention is going to save me so much time
thank you
the ‘video’ alone must have taken for ever to do – nicely put together and clear instructions too
go on – how many months/yrs went into it?
[mmm – i wonder what yr working on now]
Thanks for all the rave reviews! 🙂
For those of you wondering, yes, “Press This” is new. We used to have a bookmarklet a long time ago, but it was hardly used.
The new Press This bookmarklet that we created is new and will continue to get better down the road.
If you have any specific feedback, we’d love to hear it! Please send any specific suggestions or issues to Support.
Nice, no more copy, paste, link source for me 🙂 Thank you
wow cool!!!! thanks
cool and awesome.
thanks a lot.
Amazing idea. Nice thinking, and extremely convenient.
good
Where do I find the thing??
C
That’s great! Thanks Noel!
This is awesome!
Perhaps I am missing something but I think this tool only makes it easier for people to copy your content, post it on their site and now both sites have duplicate content which does neither site any good whatsoever. As far as Google is concerned original content is king so why even put other peoples text on your site? (unless you are not into that whole getting traffic thing)
Guy’s you are soooooooo GENIUS!
Am I the only one who has been using this for months? There was an older less cool version of this for years as well before this. Are you guys running out of things to blog about?
its coooooooooool,thanks!
Count me among the displeased. The old “Press It” bookmark at least respected content creator’s rights by inserting a link to someone else’s post in your Write Editor where you could then comment on it with the resulting trackback. The new “Press It” bookmarklet just assists content theft. Not happy, not happy at all.
thanks
that’s splendid 🙂 thanks a ton 🙂
I like it.
So that is why my slideshow appears in someone else’s blog/s; but not wordpress. Maybe they have something like Press This there, too!
good work, appriciate it.
lovely
This feature copies entire posts, content and all. It made one guy whom my wife linked to look like a thief, made my wife look complicit in it and promoted some bad feeling amongst readers.
Can you guys fix this?
Not good! Not good at all!
It copies the entire content of other people’s work. It is beyond me why WP is providing a feature that does something that they actually suspend blogs for. This seems to be little more than a scraping tool from what I’ve seen.
This is awesome. As i am always doing post quoting lots of images, articles or videos, Press This will definitely make my life easier! You are the best!
awesome wp
OH! this is great! I can add a video to my new blog.
Sweet!
good
Amazing!
Hi its a Nice one..
Great blog, thanks!!!!!!
