Easily create posts by adding the OnSugar Bookmark Tool link to your browser. Drag the link into the bookmark toolbar, or right-click to add the link to your favorites/bookmarks.

What is the OnSugar Bookmark Tool?
The bookmark tool is an easy way for you to create posts on your OnSugar blog. If you see something you want share with your friends, or suddenly have a great idea for a post, just click the bookmark link. It even allows you to post another site’s photos on your own. And as long as you’re still logged in, you won’t even have to back to your site to do so.

How do I use the bookmark tool?
To use the bookmarklet tool simply drag the above link onto your toolbar or favorites/bookmarks. Alternatively, right-click on the link above and select “Bookmark this link.” This will put the bookmark tool into your favorites/bookmark bar. From here, when you’re at a site you want to blog about, click on the link and the bookmark tool will popup. Just fill out the form and click Save Post.

What kind of post does it create?
The bookmark tool creates a link type post. Each theme has a special styling for link types, but you can always adjust the way they look by editing your theme.

Can I tag or categorize posts I make with the bookmark tool?
You can give your new post both tags and categories. Be sure to separate each tag or category with commas.

Why aren’t images showing up in the bookmark tool?
Some websites pull images in a special way that will not allow our bookmark tool to pull them in. They do this for many reasons including copyright, load time, etc. If there are no images, you may need to do the post the old-fashioned way.

Do I have to include an image?
No, you do not need to include an image. To exclude the image, simply check the "Don't include photo" link.

If I have more than one blog, which one will it post to?
Before you click Save Post, you will need to choose which blog you want to publish to in the drop down menu. Select the right one and then click Save Post.
