When you’re on a blog post or article that you find interesting, you can add a link to Writer River using the Publish2 bookmarklet. The bookmarklet is a little window that opens up with information about the page you’re reading automatically inserted into its fields.

To add links using the Publish2 bookmarklet:

1. Install the bookmarklet, if you haven’t already. To install the bookmarklet:
   1. Go to Publish2.com and log in.
   2. Go to Settings > Add Bookmarklet.
   3. Follow the on-screen instructions to add the bookmarklet to your browser’s link bar.
2. Browse to the page you want to add to Publish2.
3. Click the Link with Publish2 link in your browser.
4. Complete the fields of the bookmarklet form as desired. Many of the fields are optional. Descriptions are as follows:

Field	Description
Link Title	The post title (which is usually the article’s title). The bookmarklet pulls it in automatically.
Public Comments	Your comments about the article. This will appear in the post body.
Category	(Optional) This category only lets other Publish2 journalists know the category of your link. Usually select Technology.
Tags	(Optional) Free-form tags (separated by commas) that you think describe the article. The tags will be added to the post.
Send to Twitter	Allows you to post the link to Twitter. The [url] will be the link. Add whatever comments you want for the tweet (probably the same as your public comment, but shortened to fit Twitter's character limit).
Add to Newsgroups	When you're ready to publish the link on Writer River, select Technical Communication. Writer River -- and any other sites that pull in the technical communication newsgroup feed -- will automatically displays your link when you select this box.
Publication Name	(Optional) The name of the publication or blog that the article comes from.
The date of the publication.	(Optional) The date of the publication.
Add to:	Select My Links. This adds the link to your "My Links" section of Publish2, where you can go to log in, modify your comment, and then publish the link to the technical communication newsgroup and elsewhere.
Private Notes	(Optional) Notes for yourself, not made public.
Also add this link to	Select your blog, if you configured one. However, you can publish the link to your blog later by returning to Publish2 and going to Links > My Links and clicking the Edit It button to adjust your comment before publishing it to your blog. Note: In the field below your blog, copy the text from your comments that you want converted into a hyperlink. For example, if you wrote in your comment, “In this UX Matters article, Mike Hughes talks about the need to …” you might copy and insert the text “In this UX Matters article”. That phrase will then be the hyperlink that points to the article. If you don’t put any text in this field, there won’t be a link to your article.
Choose Categories	Choose the category for the post for your blog. If you have a special category for your links, such as an Asides category, choose that.

5. Click Save.
