I've written a post on how to restore pressit to 2.5. just a little bit of code copying and pasting- with a sub of your url- and voila! Pressit returns.

@ David Esrati: Everyone knows about this, and it was to be put back in before the last release, but it was overlooked as part of the testing. The WordPress 2.3.3 version still should work, and will the versions described in the support discussions you have listed. I have no direct sway with the powers that be, but you do. If there isn't one, have your say in Ideas and Kvetch! to let WordPress know that you want it back.

Hi Lorelle-
I found some discussions about this on the codex:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/165005
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/164205?replies=4
I think not including it until 2.6 is criminal.
I’m thinking about writing a plugin to provide the feature.
Can you ask the powers that be to put it back in WP 2.5.1 please- since you have the juice?

ah ok, thx for the speedy response, Lorelle!

I still have it installed on my desktop machine but want it on a laptop, too. Will wait to hear.

@ jeela: The Press It bookmarklet was dropped by accident in the release candidates and I was assured it would be in the final release. I can't find it on WordPress.com and I'll check it out with the updates and look into this. The previous version should still work - I was told.
