  Hello there!

  Could you confirm that you’ve followed all of the instructions for setting up your Press This button here:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/press-this/

  Following the steps above, you’ll need to add a bookmarklet to your toolbar. Then, grab media from any website and post it to your own blog.

  Please let me know if you need assistance along the way. Simply let me know precisely where you’re getting stuck — what you expect to happen and what is happening instead — and any applicable links so I can take a look at your creation.

  Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks very much.

  OK…I see I am.
  I’m not sure how to add the bookmarklet. Sorry. I’m new at all this. So, I need the bookmarklet before I can Press This. When I Press This…it does do it but it sets it up as a post. Can I save this post then turn it into a link on my post?

  Hello there!

  I’m not sure how to add the bookmarklet. Sorry. I’m new at all this.

  No problem at all! Click on this link once again:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/press-this/

  Then, you’ll follow the very first steps in the document. That will walk you through exactly where to go to drag and drop the bookmarklet into your own toolbar.

  When I Press This…it does do it but it sets it up as a post.

  Press This does create posts. That’s what the feature is meant to do. If you’re hoping to accomplish something different, please explain further.

  Can I save this post then turn it into a link on my post?

  I’m not sure what you’re asking. Can you save which post?

  If you want to create a link on your site, that’s another story. Here is information about how to create a link on your site:

  Please let me know how you’d like me to proceed. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks!
