Interesting, I'll have to check that out. Don't think it's quite what I want but getting closer.

Typically I try to get through all my feeds and I add the ones I want for my blog later to my clippings. Then at the end of the day/week I want to post the entire group so that I have an archive of the topic people can see. But by then its a bunch of links and a lot of effort. I think I'm going to have to script something. NNW will let me drag'n'drop the group of links. Maybe I can find something on the Wordpress Plugins that will get me there now that I'm thinking in that direction.

Oh, yeah...

Highlight part of the page and then click on Post to Weblog.
That should only copy the part of the page you have selected as opposed to the whole thing.

Of course that doesn't copy the underlying links that you may have highlighted.

use an AppleScript ;-)

put the Wordpress "Press This" bookmarklet (change %20 to blank first) in place of BOOKMARKLETHERE.

Save the script. I use FastScripts which gives access to the script at any time.

Works like the bookmarklet does in the browser...

tell application "NetNewsWire"
activate
set myJavaScript to "
BOOKMARKLETHERE
"
do JavaScript myJavaScript
end tell

hmmm. The Wordpress bookmarklet - Press This - is a bit of javascript that does what you want. Highlight some text, invoke the bookmarklet, voila.

If I open my Wordpress blog (in NNW) and navigate to the tools section I can click on the Press This link and see it in action.

If I highlight some text on the page and press the link, it again does as expected.

Now if there were some way to get that bookmark accessible in NNW when I am looking at some other page.

I would like a simple way (hopefully just a few clicks or less) to post links to my Wordpress blog when I find interesting news stories in NNW. I found that you can post to weblog via MarsEdit, but that posts the entire story. I just want to post one or more links. Preferably the Title of the page that was an active link to the website. Right now I've been copying/pasting the titles by hand, then manually copying the link, highlighting the title, making a link, etc... it's actually easier to just do it by hand and do search/replace to build the html manually. Either way it's very tedious for a lot of links.

Can anyone think of any way to do this?

If it isn't built in maybe a way to script it?
