    This is for the lazy ones — the Sideblog Plugin does a lot of what you have described in your post:

    It works well in my blog.

    There is no Quick Press bookmarklet in the Tools section. It is called Press This. Quick Press only exists in the Dashboard as part of the Admin interface.

    I wish i knew of this method before. I used this type of thing on my blog a few days ago. This could have saved my valuable time. Thanks.

    There is no option for filling out the category on Quick Press :P

    I am now in the preparation of creating micro blogs (I thought it was difficult to use wordpress) but it seems to be easy after reading this post. Thank you!

    I was wondering if it would be possible to do a microblog within a blog. I’ll explain the difference between your concept and mine. I’ve been thinking that I would like to have a mini blog within a main blog. So, the regular blog would be published alongside a mini blog. The mini blog could be multiple posts, associated with the main blog post.

    In my concept, the review blog, there would be both a back end and front end. In the back end, you would upload photos one at a time and write a small amount of text for each photo. You could upload as many of these micro blogs as you would want. These microblogs would go alongside the regular blog which would be a standard narrative + image text. On the front end, the person would see the main blog review, plus another box to the right where a series of mini thumbs and a selected larger sized thumb which would display the text that went with the input of the miniblog. This image would be selectable for a popup window larger image with the ability to browse through the miniblog in a larger format.

    Maybe you’d have an idea how to do that.

    Keith, I have a more rudimentary understanding of microblogs and so my question for you, although not off-topic, is a level or two below what you have shared with us on this page:

    Basically, I am still not completely grasping the NEED for microblogs. Forgive me for sounding dumb, but a blog is a blog. Why would I (or ‘could I’) need a blog within a blog?

    I would really appreciate it if you or anyone else subscribing to the comments on this page, could perhaps post a link to a tutorial and/or video resource that simply, clearly explains what microblogs are and how we should use them (and when not to use them) and their benefits (not just from a reader perspective, but also from a SEO perspective).

    I am on a quest for ‘microblog knowledge’ here and would appreciate any advice you can give me.

    Thanking you in advance.
