It allows you to right-click on any page you are viewing and open up a window to post it to your Blogger blog. You can save it as a draft, add text or post it...quick and simple.
I sometimes use it as a way to bookmark web pages I'm interested in or just as a quick way to generate the basic html for a link I'm going to paste elsewhere.
The only problem is that it doesn't work for Firefox 2.0 - without a little tweaking as described by Adam Brannon on Jan 11, 2007 in the BlogThis comments -
"1. Download (save link as) the Blog This add-on to your computer. Do not open or install it.I use Movable Type as my blogging platform on my home domain, but I have to say that Blogger and apps like "Blog This" are much easier to use for the casual blogger, or anyone who likes to spend as little time as possible figuring out tools and as much time as possible actually using them.
2. The XPI file is a ZIP file. Open it in WinZip.
3. Find the 'install.rdf' file and extract it.
4. Open 'install.rdf' with notepad.
5. Find this code:
0.9
1.5
Change maxversion to a value larger than 1.x. I changed mine to 3.0
6. Save the file.
7. Add it back to the XPI file with WinZip. Make sure it is saved over the original in the ZIP.
The BlogThis add-on will now install and work in FF2.0. If you have converted your Blogger site to the new Google base site, just use your Google login in the BlogThis popup window to log on to the site and it will take you to the familiar BlogThis screen to add the blog content, just like it use to."
