   I use "press this" to blog rather than open a new tab/page - yet, of late, I haven't been able to. When I click 'press this' all I get what appears to be a blank text box, yet if I highlight the text box it shows that there is, in fact, text - the URL that I am pressing.

   I can save that as a draft - but, as you may understand, what is the point?

   I have tried Firefox, IE (Yuck!), Opera and Safari - all are the same. Is anyone else having the same problem and if so how did you resolve it?

   The blog I need help with is vpcyn.wordpress.com.

   Hi Will-I think the "Press this" bookmarklet has gone through at least two versions. This is the info on the latest one. http://support.wordpress.com/press-this/

   Thanks, Jennifer, but I had read that, and just about everything else about the bookmarklet. I have deleted, dragged back, deleted again. I have upgraded browsers, un-installed and reinstalled.

   I was just wondering if anyone else was having the same problem - it could, obviously be my computer, but as I say - press this worked fine a few days ago and now just doesn't.

   I am back to just using tabs.

   I had the exact same problem. Turns out it was because I wasn't using the default editor in WordPress, I was using Dean's FCKEditor For WordPress. As soon as I disabled this plugin the Press This bookmarklet worked fine - I just lose that extra goodness within the main WordPress page for adding a new post.

   Hope this helps.
