  I’d like to use the press this feature on my wordpress.com blog. I’ve read the tutorial over several times but can’t seem to get it to work. Is it even possible to use press this on a .com site?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Are you trying to use Press This to press your own posts?

  No. I’d like to use it to capture parts of other posts I’d like use. or new items etc. Other information from the web.

  I’ve heard there are some problems with it right now. Have you tried the Reblog feature?

  Yes, I’ve used reblog in the past but doesn’t reblog capture the entire post? Also you can’t use reblog on other websites only wordpress sites…is that correct?

  That’s correct. You can manually reblog other sites though.

  Reblog captures the first 75 words and the first image.

  But only WordPress.com sites correct? So is the press this widget going to be fixed? What’s the deal?
