Most of the posting I do here at Blogging Pro is done using the JavaScript bookmark found at the bottom left hand side of the Write Post screen in the admin section of WordPress. By dragging that link to the quick links section of your browser, you have an easy way to quickly create a post with the URL and selected data from the page you’re currently looking at.
The problem is I like to use the advanced Write Post screen mainly because of the edit timestamp feature. I like to space out my posts so I usually future date them, especially if I find a boat load of WordPress resources all at once.
To have the Advanced Write Post screen display, open up bookmarklet.php in the wp-admin folder and change line 101 to <?php require(’edit-form-advanced.php’); ?>.
Pretty simple.

4Looks like when you copied and pasted the change into bookmarklet.php it got corrupted. Be sure you have copied correctly.

9i really needed this, so thanks very much.
other novice wp users might benefit from knowing that after you change the bookmarklet.php, you need to use the newly generated bookmarklet found on your admin write posts page to get it to work and delete the original (out-of-the-box) bookmarklet.
