Curation is great way to build SEO, audience and content for your website. If you have a WordPress website, then you are just a couple of steps away from being a killer-speed-demon curator yourself.

Here’s 4 quick steps to add curated content to your wordpress blog.

  1. Login in to your Admin dashboard
  2. Find the Press This bookmarklet under Appearance > tools > Press This
  3. Drag the Press This button to your browser bookmark bar
  4. Done you’re ready to curate

Now, find an article you want to curate. We’re going to take one the SEOMoz blog about curating (http://www.seomoz.org/blog/content-curation-guide-for-seo). Here’s what you need to do next:

  1. Highlight a relevant excerpt on the blog (just a paragraph or so)
  2. Click the Press This bookmarket on your browser (you’ll get a pop-up showing your excerpt)
  3. Add some commentary and opinion of your own about the article (remember, you’re curating not aggragating here)
  4. Add any pics or categories you like (optional)
  5. Click the Publish button
  6. You’re done! Check out your blog and you’ll see you have a new blog post
  7. Here’s a link to an example.
