How does it work?
When you click on the bookmarklet, it opens up a window on top of the Web page you’re viewing. You now have two choices, you can create a link post or an image post:

• Create a Link Post: Click “Post to CTC as a Link” and the entry form should appear with details filled in. Add a description if you like. You can also assign this entry to one of your goals.
• Create an Image Post: Usable images on the page will be highlighted with a green dashed border. Click on one and the entry form you appear with details filled in. Add a description and assign this entry to one of your goals, if you want.
• The Post form is blank? Try clicking on the link or the image again.
• Not logged in? The bookmarklet will prompt you to log in, if you’re not already. Once you enter in your username and password correctly, it will take you to the entry form.

Can’t Drag the Bookmarklet? Using Internet Explorer?
You can also save the bookmarklet in your browser by right-clicking on the bookmarklet and selecting “Add to Favorites.” Click OK if you receive a security alert — this action is safe because you are adding the bookmarklet and you know what it’s for. Click the “Create In” button and select the “Links” folder, then click OK.
