But if we have a blog, we’ll probably be able to put in the code for a permalink the way it’s inputted into the template files (almost) just as long as there’s a URL encode tag option. It’s so easy for Word Press. That’s what I did.

Well, I did register on Digg to test out my code, but I won’t use it much because it doesn’t have all the categories I’m into. Celebrities, sure, and some of the others, but no fashion. I know it’s supposed to be a site for tech guys, and probably only guys, too. But it still doesn’t work that well for me.

I’d also only use it more if more blogs had the little icon or a link, because I’m not going through the hard way. ;-) So then … it needs to be even easier.

Still feel so great I worked with the code! I’m adding it to another blog!!! :-D

Wait and see…

This just creates extra work for everyone. The script should be smart enough so that when a non-submitted URL is sent over, it shows a “not submitted” or something and when a submitted URL is sent, it does the standard behavior, showing the number of links.

As it stands, we have to somehow code in each individual URL for articles submitted to get it to work. Seems silly to me.

Note that you do NOT have to enter the description or topic: I leave that for the person doing the Digg. Also note that unless the person has a Digg account and is already logged into Digg this doesn’t work very well.

But I even made one blog so that the Digg link would only show up for one category, because only one fits. (That worked, too. ;-))

I used their link structure + Word Press tags + encoding tags I found on WordPress.org’s forums.

I feel really great!

The only ‘big but’ is that your article needs to be dug first before being able to see the diggs and before you can insert the dig code. As a result it cannot be automised into your template set and it creates extra work afterwards.

I wonder why digg is not able identifying an url that is dugg to grab the done diggs automatically from there. Because now you need to digg the story yourself in order to get the url and still it can not be added as an automatic tool… rather annoying really… But I guess they will figger out a way.
