 MU Trac Ticket: http://trac.mu.wordpress.org/ticket/1092

 A WordPress MU user may wish to pass external content into the MU
 authoring interface. Authoring interfaces such as  Press This currently do
 not support the selection of a target blog for which the currently logged
 in user has  edit_posts capability.

  Internet Explorer 8,  Google Reader, and bookmarklet functions currently
 help pass new post information into an authoring tool such as Press This,
 but requires a pre-determined URL template to pass along new actions.

 Good: http://wordpress.org/wp-admin/press-this.php

 Bad: http://*.wordpress.org/wp-admin/press-this.php

 Currently a user can add a bookmarklet or IE Accelerator on a per-blog
 basis. It would be a much better user experience if he or she could target
 a predictable URL endpoint on the MU install.
 New URL ¶

 adminurl/press-this.php

 Point to the MU install's main admin handlers and let it handle user
 state.
 Possible handling ¶

     * Redirect user to Press This interface of their primary blog with
 query params intact.
     * Add a new stuffbox to the post interface sidebar with a <select>
 drop-down if currently logged on user has edit_posts capability on more
 than 1 blog. Default blog selected.
     * Select box value is passed in at post. No URL redirects on new
 option selection.

 Possible downsides ¶

 Writing a new post from somewhere outside direct blog context could have
 consequences.

     * Plugins attached to target blog not loaded.

 Next Steps ¶

 Once there is agreement on the best approach I can submit the appropriate
 patch.
