Hate the new Bitly? Me too. Fortunately the old Bitly Sidebar feature still works well.

To install: Create a new bookmark that points to this Java Script code:

javascript:var%20e=document.createElement(‘script’);e.setAttribute(‘language’,’javascript’);e.setAttribute(‘src’,’//bitly.com/bookmarklet/load.js’);document.body.appendChild(e);void(0);

OR

Drag this into your bookmarks pane.

Once created, you can click on that bookmark from any page and Bitly’s tool bar will pop-up in the right rail. Copy, paste, presto.

Note: You may need to edit the bookmark and replace each ’ mark with new ones. Tumblr’s font confuses some browsers.
