Press This is a bookmarklet built into WordPress, that allows you to grab bits of the web and post them easily to your blog. It’s wonderful!!! If you’re not already using it, find it in Admin > Tools;  drag-and-drop the link to your browser’s bookmarks bar, and you’l have a handy button for instant blogging without cut and paste.

The problem is that when I first used, it didn’t work. It gave me a 404 error everytime I clicked on the link. Doing some research on the Internet, I found many solutions that identified the problem but still didn’t work for me. Finally I found one that need.

Edit the below code, where it says DOMAINNAME and enter your domain name, and then copy and paste this code into the bookmarklet:

javascript:var%20d=document,w=window,e=w.getSelection,k=d.getSelection,x=d.selection,s=(e?e():(k)?k():(x?x.createRange().text:0)),f='http://www.DOMAINNAME.com/wp-admin/press-this.php',l=d.location,e=encodeURIComponent,g=f+'?u='+e(l.href.replace(/\//g,'\\/'))+'&t='+e(d.title)+'&s='+e(s)+'&v=2';function%20a(){if(!w.open(g,'t','toolbar=0,resizable=0,scrollbars=1,status=1,width=720,height=570')){l.href=g;}}setTimeout(a,0);void(0);

If this doesn’t work, try reading the original solution that worked for me. You can find it at:

I have begun researching a company called eBridge Software (http://www.ebridgesoft.com/). They offer a solution for connecting inventory, orders, and customer data between Magento and a multitude of Accounting / Fulfillment solutions.

I’d like have an open  discussion about eBridge and Magento.

If connecting Magento inventory, orders and customer data with Account / Fulfillment solutions is something that interests  you, please contact eBridge Software to understand how it would work with your specific situation and post what you find, good and bad, to the comments of this blog. This way we can learn from eachother. I think this solution has a lot promise.

Just got an e-mail from Dan Thies about a webinar he will be doing with Andy Jenkins on September 8th. Obviously they’re doing it to collect names for their Private Coaching program however it doesn’t negate the fact that 2 really smart internet marketers are going to be disclosing plenty of techniques and advice for free. I’m not going to miss that type of opportunity.

To signup, go to:

Notice I didn’t use an affiliate URL, this 100% recommendation, no commissions motivating me to do it. Dan Thies has always been ,one or if not, the internet marketer I respect the most because of his genuine thirst for understanding and dissecting how to rank in search engines.
