Easy way to switch logins via bookmarklet?

I have 2 accounts, one for me and one for my baby. Mostly I post to mine, but every now and then I want to post to hers. I *love* the bookmarklet (best one I've seen) ... but I wish there was a way to switch users from that interface, because I always forget.

I’m amused

Hi Michael!

First off: I've seen your baby's Soup, and it's just adorable :)
Glad you're finding Soup useful.

You can make her Soup account an invite only group, then you can post to it while logged in to your own.

In the settings panel of her Soup:
1. Privacy > This soup is a group
2. Group Settings > Invite only
3. Invite your other account
4. Log back in with that account, accept the invitation

Then you'll have a dropdown menu in the bookmarklet to choose which Soup to post to.

One caveat: You'll notice that posts in a group will have each post's author's icon instead of the content type icons they have now. This is an unfinished part of groups, we still have to come up with a setting to change which icons are shown. For now one could change them back by using custom CSS, I can show you how once you've made it a group -- try it out and let me know.

Thanks Christopher, that will work. If you have a custom CSS recipe already, I'd love to see it.
