How to Add a Digg It Button to Your Blog or Web Page

Add a button like this to your blog or web page.

If you want to let your readers bookmark your blog posts or web pages on the popular bookmarking site Digg.com, you can add a Digg It button to your page.

Things You'll Need

• An account at Digg.com
• A blog or web page you want to have Dugg
• A basic knowledge of HTML (just enough to copy and paste some code in the right place)

Instructions

Get a Digg Script

1. Log in to Digg.com.

2. 

   Go to the Digg tools page. Look for the button inviting you to Integrate Digging in Your Site

3. 

   The Integrate Digg page offers several code choices. You copy the code and add it to the HTML of your web page where you want the button to appear.

   If you have a web page with just one article on it (in other words, not a blog) use the simplest option, which is just a small script link like the code you see in the image.

   Only copy and paste the script part.

4. 

   If you have a blog, you want to add the Digg It button to each blog post. Unless you know in advance what the individual blog post URL will be, you may have go through this process:

   A. Publish the post.
   B. Click through to the individual post URL and copy it.
   C. Edit the original post by adding the script shown in the image (only copy and paste the script part).
   D. Republish the post.

5. The Digg page providing this code to you offers a couple of other options as well. You can use them to modify the button slightly, but it isn't necessary to getting Dugg. Either of the two small bits of script code mentioned above will do that for you.
