New Chose
Okay, why did no one ever tell me about this cool booklet thingy? Ben? Anyone? I feel so lame.
I need to go to bed.

Posted by micah on October 12, 2003 02:27 AMwell, now i feel lame.
i don't even know what you're talking about!
Don't feel bad Stephanie!
I think Ben could probably explain it better than I, but if you go into your blog (you know where you log in) towards the right side right after you log in, there is a link that says bookmarklets.
This will take you through some steps to set up a link that will allow you to blog on the fly.
Once you get through the steps (it asks you some questions that are pretty explanatory, I think) just drag the link to your Links pane in your browser.
Once you do that, you can click that button and it will pop up a window to allow you to blog.
I know this makes only marginal sense, but maybe it will help.

Basically, a bookmarklet (also known as "favlets") is a small javascript script (not as redundant as it sounds) that can do any number of things. MT can build a bookmarklet that will create a small blogging window. It's very handy. MT also lets you pick the features you want your mini blogging window to have.
Pretty cool stuff. 8o)
