Bookmarklets I use all the time

These are bookmarklets. You can click on the link and drag it into your browser bookmark bar. When you use these bookmarklets, they open a dialog box you can copy and paste from. I chose that method because it should work in most browsers and operating systems.

Copy link and highlights This bookmarklet will grab the title of the current web page, the URL to the page and anything you highilight on the page. It then opens a dialog box in your browser that you can copy out of and paste anywhere you like.

Bookmarklet: Grab link to this page

The code:

javascript:(function() {var currentUrl = window.location.href;var strippedUrl = currentUrl.split('?%27)[0];  void(prompt("Copy the text below and paste where ever you want to save your link:", " "+document.title+" %27"+window.getSelection().toString()+"%27"))})();

Indieweb: PESOS syndication link PESOS - IndieWeb 'PESOS is an acronym for Publish Elsewhere, Syndicate (to your) Own Site. It's a syndication model where publishing starts by posting to a 3rd party service, then using infrastructure (e.g. feeds, Micropub, webhooks) to create an archive copy on your site.' This bookmarklet is part of that infrastructure. Highlight the text of the page your are on, click the bookmarklet and it will format a syndication link that you can then copy and paste into a page on your site. Bookmarklet: PESOS

javascript:void(prompt("To make an Indieweb PESOS link of this post\ncopy the code below and paste it to a new entry on your site:", "  '"+window.getSelection().toString()+"'"))
