I know this is more of a Mac OS X support request, but when I go to save the script into the Library / Scripts / Applications / Safari folder, it says I don't have permission. Viewing the Safari folder using Get Info shows that "system" has Read & Write access, and "everyone" has Read only. Since I'm not system, it doesn't appear that I can change this. Any thoughts on how to proceed?
Are you saving to the Library/Scripts... in your user folder, or in the root? You should be in /Users/[yourusername]/Library/Scripts/Applications/Safari. Let me know if that does the trick or not!
I'm trying to save in my user folder; that full path doesn't exist under the drive root's Library.
But it does exist in your User folder, right? That's really odd. It should be owned by youruser/staff, and you should be able to trash and replace it if needed. If there's nothing else in that folder (or if you've backed up the contents), go to Terminal, cd to the Scripts/Applications folder and run sudo rm -rf Safari, entering your user password when prompted (assuming your user has admin privileges). Then you should be able to make a new Safari folder with proper permissions ... ?

It is really nice script. I think it is better has a Growl feature that tell me about get bookmarks to Evernote.
Hey Keizo!
You can add that pretty easily if you have growlhelper installed. I can't remember if that's part of the default install of Growl or not. I'll post code for that later, if you want to test it out.
I believe I have install Growlhelper though I don't know where is it. Anyway I really want to try the code please.
You should be able to triple-click the code line in the reply above and select it all, even though it's not fully visible.

My mistake, the program is growlnotify, and it's in the main Growl download, just in case you don't have it. It requires a separate install by running the install.sh script from Terminal. In an AppleScript, you can call it like this:
do shell script "/usr/local/bin/growlnotify -m 'Bookmarks saved to Evernote' -t 'EverSave' -i 'Evernote'"
and insert that line wherever you want to send a notification, editing the Saved to Evernote part to fit the message you want to send. I'll eventually rework the script to include this, but it's necessary to check that growlnotify is installed before calling it or it will throw errors. For now, I'll leave it up to the user to check if they have the utility installed and add the line(s) manually.
Just for the record, this script runs so quickly and silently that at first I didn't think it was working -- also I forgot that it targets the 'Bookmarks' notebook. Nice work Brett!
If you're using the WebKit nightlies, you can change the application title in the script to "WebKit" -- however it still goes in the Safari scripts folder.
Both your script and your walk-through are real gifts to your fellow AppleScripters..... much obliged to you for both (and for the "shout out")!
Not to be self-deprecating, but I think your script is an improvement upon my own... and here's why: As great as Evernote is, one of the seemingly universal complaints about it is how it handles simple text formatting. Based upon some stuff I read on their forum, my guess is that the situation won't really improve until Evernote finishes revamping the DTD used in creating notes.
So, the fact that you are using some Script-fu to "pretty up" the data into HTML is actually an important difference -- certainly more than a cosmetic one. I think it really opens the door to making more readable notes right now... and also shines a light on a way that people will want to script for Evernote going forward!
Solutions like yours take the guess-work out of how Evernote will format your data. This is the direction I've been moving in with my own scripts (stay tuned for some fun revisions on that front).
All of which is to say -- I am very glad you didn't see mine first! ;)
Nice work, Brett!
