    I have developed a WordPress plugin for this (WP Evernote Site Memory). It automatically adds the clip button after every post. No customization is necessary, however there are plenty of options available! Check it out on the WordPress Plugin Directory: http://wordpress.org/extend/pl.....te-memory/

    Looks like a nice tool and a great earning potential for high traffic blogs, but how popular is Evernote? Is it a large used service or a just started one?

      Evernote has been around for a while, and it’s definitely one of the larger (if not the largest) online clipboard-type services.

    I like the concept and set it up on my site. I am using a Genesis theme, which uses “entry-content” as the div that surrounds post content. I specified it, and as you noted, even with a very specific (and I would think correct) div, it clips the whole page, comments, ads, nav menu, and all.

    Could you get a bit more specific on what worked for you? I tried to find some additional advice on the Evernote Site Memory page, but they don’t seem to be real big on support.

    Thanks. I think I’ll try to work in an InstaPaper button, too, although I am a little nervous about what these buttons will do to my time-on-site stats with Google Analytics.

      Hi Bruce,
      I looked at your code briefly. It appears that entry-content is the CLASS the post is contained in. For the Site Memory feature to work you must specify an ID.

      Here are two suggestions for you. In your theme files, add a DIV around your post title, post, and post meta information (or whatever you want to be clipped), and within the div put the following: id=”post-”

      This will give a unique ID to every post area.

      If you then install the WP Evernote Site Memory plugin that I developed for WordPress (http://wordpress.org/extend/pl.....te-memory/) it will select this ID automatically by default.

      Your second option is to do the same as I said before, only instead of giving it id=”post-“, give it an ID name. That ID name is the ID you would want to clip.

      Hope this helps!

        id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>” is the code that should be above, not id=”post-“

          Thank you, Jonathan!

          I should have realized this … Evernote keeps saying ID, and I kept using classes (I assumed they were generalizing, equating div to id).

          Thanks again,
          Bruce
