What are some plugins or alternatives to the PressThis function?
I want to use the PressThis bookmarklet to quickly blog about what I see online, but every time I do and include an image, it hotlinks to the image from the site I’m blogging about.
That’s bad, because I don’t want to tax the site I’m writing about. I don’t want to use a full-sized image. And I don’t want the image to be broken on my site if the site I’m writing about to goes down.
PressThis bookmarklet does upload images to the wp uploads folder that you add to the article. Basically in the PressThis window go to the ‘Add’ menu and click on ‘Insert an Image’ icon.
It will populate thumbnails of images found on the web page you are on. Click on the image you want to include in your post and that will open up a small window with the image you selected. As well there’s an empty Description field and just above that field – on the right click on ‘Insert Image’ and it will insert it in your post.
Now this will insert the image AND wrap a hyperlink to it to the web page that you got it from but once saved it will upload that image to your site.
