Signal Boost: Signal Boost bookmarklet with user name tags for more sites

[personal profile] ljwrites posted: Signal Boost bookmarklet with user name tags for more sites
I made a fork/update to [personal profile] melannen's fork of [personal profile] astolat's signal boost bookmarklet, which adds user name tags for more of the sites recognized by the DW user tag. I also made small changes to the text generated by the bookmarklet.


So [personal profile] astolat updated the bookmark code again a few days ago, and then I updated it more, and then [personal profile] ljwrites updated it even more!

So now it
a) preserves html in the copied text (astolat);
b) works for some people it had been broken for before (me);
c)strips out multiple signal boost: prefixes in titles (me, sorry);
d) fails better with non-DW websites (me);
e) actually works well with a list of non-DW websites that are compatible with DW (lj-writes)
f) has slightly more best-practices formatting (lj-writes).

....at some point we're going to have to stop calling it a "tiny" bookmarklet. :D

I also updated the drag-and-droppable version I'm hosting on my website, if you're somewhere that making a new bookmark manually is too annoying, go here and use the link:

SignalBoost 1.4



(If I keep wanting to code things, I need to update my DW style next! Nobody let me do anything else! Even if CSS is the worst!)

I tried to make it open in a new window by stealing code from the AO3 offsite bookmarklet. I think it should be doable, but it'll take more time and brain than I've been able to devote to it yet, especially as people keep making the existing code more complex ...
