“Add Link” Bookmarklet for Wordpress

January 16th, 2009 | Posted in Everything Blogged, Geek Talk | 2 Comments »

I managed to find how to put an “Add Link” or “Link This” bookmarklet in my browser bar.  It needed a teeny update, so I thought I’d post how I did it, in hopes it might help somebody else. 

The original was in this forum thread by “rileycentral” :  

WordPress › Support » addlink bookmarklet gone?.

All I did was change the width of the popup window to 800px to allow for the new 2.7 admin layout.  You’ll need to change the url to your own, then copy and paste the code to your address bar and drag it into your bookmarks bar.  That’s what I did in Safari, anyway.  If there’s a better way- please let me know.

javascript:void(linkmanpopup=window.open(‘http://urlhere.com/wordpress/wp-admin/link-add.php?action=popup&linkurl=’+escape(location.href)+’&name=’+escape(document.title),’LinkManager’,’scrollbars=yes,width=800,height=550,left=15,top=15,status=yes,resizable=yes’));linkmanpopup.focus();window.focus();linkmanpopup.focus();
