Adding a digg Button to Blogger

Here are the steps to add a digg button to Blogger. Digg is a useful tool for surfing content you are interested in. Hopefully a digg user will see your content on digg, once its submitted by the first 'digger', and go to your blog. This button will be in every post.

Step 1. Go to the Layout tab from the Blogger dashboard. Then click Edit HTML and make sure you check the 'Expand Widgets Template' option.

Step 2. Search for this piece of code, , using CTRL+F.

Step 3. Insert this code directly below it.

<div style='float:right; margin-left:10px;'>
<script type='text/javascript'>
digg_url=&quot;<data:post.url/>&quot;;
digg_skin=&quot;compact&quot;;
</script>
<script src='http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js' type='text/javascript'/>
</div>

Step 4. Preview and Save.

I try to submit every post to digg. If others find it useful or interesting, they will digg it as well. I have gotten a little bit of traffic using this method, and some of it repeat visitors.
