 In using the most current version of WordPress.org in Internet Explorer 8,
 users are unable to boomark the "Press This" tool available under
 Dashboard > Settings > Writing.

 To replicate:

 1. Visit your Dashboard > Settings > Writing in Internet Explorer 8 (or
 9).

 2. Place your mouse over the "Press This" button and attempt to right
 click and Save to your Bookmarks. The right-click will not function.

 3. As an alternative, try dragging the "Press This" button to your
 bookmarks. The button will not drag.

 Because Internet Explorer does not allow users to manually add Bookmarks,
 it is impossible to copy and paste the "Press This" URL into your
 Bookmarks. Additionally, users cannot copy and paste the Javascript into
 their Bookmarks: [http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/1st-question-

 This is a problem for WordPress.com users as well.
