Home "Send to Blogger" without the Google Toolbar

I use as my default browser K-Ninja, a very minimalistic browser based on the Gecko engine, the same as Firefox. There's a K-Ninja wiki here.
***edit***
K-Ninja Development is now officially wrapped up as of the 12th March 2008
***edit***

As Firefox has developed it has become more and more bloated (probably my fault with all the extensions I use) and therefore slower and slower.

K-Ninja on the other hand is the quickest browser around. On my badly maintained machine it opens and displays my Google homepage in under 6 seconds (Firefox 15 seconds and twice the memory footprint). But the biggest plus is the ability to configure absolutely everything with no need for extensions etc as nearly everything can be done by editing macros.

Its not for the non-technical user but if your the type that likes to fiddle with everything until its to your specification then this is worth a look.

One disadvantage is the Firefox .xpi format of extension and plugin installation isn't supported so you have to unpack the xpi and take out the code you want. For plugins its normally just a case of extracting the dll and putting it in the K-Ninja plugins folder.

I wanted the usability of the Google bar "send to Blogger" but its not possible to install the bar in K-Ninja so after quite a search I found the java script for a "send to Blogger" bookmarklet at Blogger Help!
Hmmm, might try looking there first next time....

Here's the code for it anyway, just make a new bookmark and point it to this snippet:
javascript:popw='';Q='';x=document;y=window;if(x.selection) {Q=x.selection.createRange().text;} else if (y.getSelection) {Q=y.getSelection();} else if (x.getSelection) {Q=x.getSelection();}popw = y.open('http://www.blogger.com/blog_this.pyra?t=' + escape(Q) + '&u=' + escape(location.href) + '&n=' + escape(document.title),'bloggerForm','scrollbars=no,width=475,height=300,top=175,left=75,status=yes,resizable=yes');if (!document.all) T = setTimeout('popw.focus()',50);void(0);
