“Add Link” Bookmarklet for WordPress

I wanted a button in my toolbar to quickly add links to my wordpress blogroll – filling a moderately sized blogroll  by hand can at best be described as tedious, so I haven’t gotten around to it.

Jessica Tompson posted a version that works well (in wordpress 2.8.4) , with instructions on how to use it:

“Add Link” Bookmarklet for wordpress.

don’t forget to put the url of your blog inside the javascript, I glanced over it…. One other caveat: if you use NoScript, it seems you have to at least temporarily allow the site you want to bookmark for the bookmarklet to work.

This took a bit of searching, so I hope posting this makes it easier to find for others. Apparently, there used to be a “Link This” bookmarklet as part of wordpress core that did what I wanted but it has been removed, unfortunately the pages that describe this old feature rank higher in search engines than the bookmarklet that works…
