Loving the LJ Bookmarklet

I am having an absolute ball with the new LJ Bookmarklet This makes sharing stuff from the web so darned easy! :D I’ve had this feature available from WordPress for over a year now. LJ does it better, and I’m so thrilled to have it. Three cheers for the LJ developers! :D

For those using a screenreader, just add the bookmarklet to your favorites or bookmarks. You can even use AutoHotkey to make a little script to click the bookmark on your toolbar for you with a hotkey. I have the bookmarklet on my Firefox toolbar and just use the Jaws cursor to click it. I’ll do more with it later when I don’t feel so lazy. ;)

    I was trying to figure it out earlier, but I’m so tech illiterate. Even though I try to make myself believe otherwise. I’ll get it when I have more time. It does sound like a cool feature, though.

      John, this is just a bit of new technology. It isn’t about how tech savvy you are. Some sighted people don’t catch on at first. Speech does add a bit of a wrinkle. If it makes you feel better, it took me a couple of years to understand how to make bookmarklets work with speech.

      You still use Skype, right? Once Christmas is over, let’s get on Skype, and I’ll show you how it works. You’re so creative and love so much variety. You’ll have a blast once you see how it works. You’ll be an unstoppable force and we won’t be able to hold you back! Then you can show your handiwork to your cousin, who is probably totally clueless about bookmarklets. Lol. :D

        I actually already figured it out! Yay! And now other folks are asking me to explain it. How fun. I love it when I can help others.

        Would still like to chat on Skype when you’re available.

          Way to go! You da man! Lol! i knew you could do it. Yes, it would be great to talk on Skype soon. Let’s make sure to do that.
