Send to Blog Basics
Browsing the web frequently inspires people to write something to their blogs, either simply to quote, or to quote and comment. This process is now made extremely smooth and effortless with Diigo's annotation features and "Send to Blog" -- another unique blog-integration feature exclusive to Diigo!
So now as you browse along, you simply highlight and add sticky notes on anything that interests you, and afterwards, you can easily incorporate your highlights and notes to your blog with the "Send to Blog" feature. A new blog post will be instantaneously pre-populated with your highlights (including pictures, tables of data, etc.), any associated sticky notes, public page comments, and a link to the web page you are visiting. With our rich text editor, edit based on what you "Send to Blog" with, preview, then publish to your blog right away. It is that simple!
To get started, go to "Send to Blog" in "My Tools" section, click "Add a blog", then enter the full URL of your blog (including http://).

If you want to display not only your annotations, but also those other people have added, select "Show all annotations" in the drop-down menu:
