I’ve been wanting to use Instapaper a lot more than I currently do. It seems perfect for moving links around between all the various places I use the internet, but to do that well, I need a lot of different accounts. And I need to be able to post to any of those accounts with one click.

After a bit of searching around the internet, I concluded that if I wanted to have per-account bookmarklets, I’d have to make them myself. It took a little bit of doing (URL-encoding, you are not my friend) but I have done it!

If you’d like your very own account-specific bookmarklet, drag this link to your bookmarks bar then edit it to add in your own username and password in the appropriate spots. If you don’t have a password, you can leave that part out.

It’s really, really hacky at the moment. You can’t select text to use as the summary, you can’t manually change the title (it’ll be automatically pulled from the page) and all you get to tell you it worked it a little window that says 201. If it says anything else, it didn’t work. If you get a 403 the first thing to check is that any special characters in your username or password are escaped.
