Just a quick hint on how to create a valid Digg this link for your WordPress posts without the need of installing any additional plugins:
- Find The Loop in your WordPress theme’s index.php and the post-entry part in your single.php
- Find the place where you would like to put your Digg this link. Somewhere right after
<?php the_content(); ?>is mostly a good idea.
- Copy & paste this code:
<a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2 &url=<?php the_permalink() ?> &title=<?php the_title(); ?> &bodytext=<?php the_excerpt() ?>" title="Digg this story"> <img src="http://digg.com/img/badges/10x10-digg-thumb.png" mce_src="http://digg.com/img/badges/10x10-digg-thumb.png" width="10" height="10" alt="Digg!" /> Digg this</a> - Done.
The code creates a small Digg this link like the one you see on the left side below this post.
Of course you can customize the link and use any image (e.g. other digg buttons) and text you want.
Update
Meanwhile I installed the Sociable WordPress plugin, which does a wonderful job adding all sorts of social bookmarking sites to your post.
