If you don't already have a Diigo account, you can easily create one.
Once you have signed up and signed in, you will be presented with the option to install the Diigo extension. Choose “Install Diigo Extension”.
After the extension installs, the Diigo Chrome extension icon will appear to the right of the address bar. If you skip in this step, you can still install the extension from the Chrome Web Store.

Annotate Article
There are two methods to do annotation:
1) Annotate on readability page. "Annotate Article" option opens the readability page where you can do annotation in an ads-free enviroment.
The annotation toolbar will appear on the right side of the page.It can be used to highlight, annotate, and make notes on a web page.
2) Annotate on the original page.

Highlighting can be accomplished from the context pop-up. After the Chrome extension is installed, whenever you select text on a webpage, the context pop-up will appear, allowing you to accomplish text-related annotation.
The highlighted text will be saved to your Diigo library, so you don't need to go to the bookmarked page to access important paragraphs. (Need a how to highlight screenshot)
