  Is there a possibility to add a Digg This button, badge etc. to your blog? There are codes available from Digg.com but since they use Javascript it is not allowed in WordPress. Any possibilities to work around this?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Yep, just search for the Digg Digg plug-in and install it. Then you can add “Digg Button”, “Reddit Me Button”, “dzone Button”, “Yahoo Buzz Button” and “TweetMeme” to your posts. I use it on mine: [url]www.sufferforyourart.com[/url]

  Try using the same code you use to post YouTube videos, except sub “Digg” in place of “YouTube”.

  Thanks timethief, I wonder if it’s also possible to put a Digg button in the sidebar.

  You’ll be surprised Mr. Mac!

  There is a new cross-platform version of GetSocial, but since I haven’t officially launched it yet I won’t include the link… :)

  You can find it yourself though, somewhere in here:
