Print or email a blog post
I was checking out this great post on the Collaboration Loop blog, and noticed this blog post had two buttons…PRINT, and EMAIL.
When you click on the print button a small window pops-up, within this window you have to click on the button again, and off you go.
When you click on the email button a small form pops-up and away you go…
Does anyone know how to implement the code for this on a blog?
I’ve got a button on the side of my blog by bravenet called Tell-A-Friend, this is for my blog home page, but I’m looking for a code so I can implement it on every blog post.

[ADDED 25/05/06: Another option is for your “email this” button to automatically open a new email from the users email client with the subject already pre-populated, eg. see this blog post
…bravenet have a version of this, but how do you code it for each blog post, same goes with their email forms.
They also have a print button (and a disappearing version), but again how to you code this for each blog post, and how do you avoid it from printing the sidebar stuff, something John from FreshBlog alluded to…
I guess if you printed the RSS version of a post it would just print the post content, but we don’t have permalinks for the RSS version of our blog posts…a tool like RSS2PDF only archives the last 10 posts of a blog.]

John,
I’ve got some ideas for blogger that use stylesheets to strip out the sidebar etc… see Freshblog. I’m sure one of them will either work or be easily adapted for WP? (like I know anything about that!)
