Digg Help
-
Greetings Ya’ll
I’ve searched and searched but can’t find a proper solution to this problem. I’m trying to add a digg button to my blogs with no luck. I have read and followed the instructions that were provided in the support page but obviously with 85 thumbs down to 55 thumbs up, I’m not the only one having trouble here.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/digg/Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Please report all the step by step details to Staff (I did:___ I saw:___I expected___) so they can help you and improve the support documentation. http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/

Would you please unlink your Twitter account from your wordpress.com username and link your wordpress.com blog it it instead?
-

Click your user name please and you will find it’s linked to your Twitter account. This is NOT helpful to us Volunteers because it’s not linked to your wordpress.com blog.
Go into your Dashboard -> Users -> Personal Settings -> then scroll down to ‘Account Details’. In the spot where it says ‘website’ remove the Twitter URL and replace it with the complete and clickable URL for your wordpress.COM blog starting with http:// and save the changes.
That will do it. :)

Within the article, you want to use a code that’s just like the YouTube code but is Digg instead.
[digg=your article submission url on digg]
Note that it has to already be submitted to Digg in order to work.

That’s strange. You’re not using quotation marks around the url, right? And the article you’re trying to put the button on has already been submitted to Digg and has an active page, yes?
-
Nope, no quotation marks and yes it has been published.
I’ve followed the directions from you and others (they’re all the same) and it just won’t work.

That’s too bad. :( Please report all the step by step details to Staff (I did:___ I saw:___I expected___) so they can help you and improve the support documentation. http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/

This is what happened above. In order to post CODE to the forums we must post it between backticks. The backtick ` (not single quote) is found on the same key as the tilde ~ only in lower case. That key is to the immediate left of the number 1 key on your keyboard. The format for posting code on the forum is:backtick
CODE
backtickre: the Digg button
I’m pretty sure you probably don’t want to waste another day on this topic. If you use these social bookmarks by generating them and then copy pasting them in the HTML editor at the end of your each of posts they do include a Digg button. http://getsociallive.com -
I’m pretty sure timethief is the smartest person on earth. Holy fuck your fast and how many times can I say thank you…lol
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

It’s good to hear that you know what to do. The important things to consider when assessing whether or not you should submit a post to Digg include recognition that technical articles are the best choice for posting to Digg.
* submit only original well written content
* include exceptionally good images
* and note that well written technical, tutorials and how to posts tend to fare better than others. -

I don’t get it. Rhetorical question: What part of me having over 500 posts in my blogging tips blog and copy pasting parts of them here to help fellow bloggers could any blogger possibly object to? Either you want to solve your problem or you don’t and you are posting for advice. I tried to cover both bases and I guess I failed. Oh well ..
