Thank you for creating and sharing this code. I discovered it through a Google search.

I placed the code right before the and it does not show up. Are you able to see what I’m doing wrong?

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Deborah,

You need to replace the question marks with either single or double quotes. I’d suggest copy the code from the blog post into notepad or any text editor first and then copy and paste it into your blog.

That will make it work. Wordpress is a pain in the butt to post code in a blog post, especially if people are copy and pasting it.

I guess I’m not understanding how this works. Or maybe the Freshy theme is just incompatible with digg. :)

I’ve tried putting this into the index several times–I must be doing something wrong but this is a bit beyond my coding capabilities! The question marks you refer to in the previous post, does that mean the code would be
or then? Does the_permalink need to be changed to something else?

Just make sure when you copy and paste all the quotation marks come out as regular quotes. Wordpress has a way of switching the quotes to begin quote and end quotes. I’m, trying to figure out how to work around it, but it seems to be a problem with the TinyMCE editor in wordpress.

also, the

tag at the end of the code needs to be removed. For some reason Wordpress is adding it to my post…

I put the code in a regular html file in case anybody is having a problem…

I REALLY want to thank you guy, you really came through on this one, it’s so crazy because digg.com etc and those other big sites don’t even include this kind of information, it worked perfectly for me at TerranceCharles.com …

Hi,

I added the hack, but I noticed it’s not digging the individual story, but my whole blog? how do I set it up so it diggs the story and not the complete blog?

hi Lindsey,
It seems to be working when I check the blog. One thing, you should enable permlinks on your blog. Enabling permalinks is simple, just go into your Dashboard > Options > Permalinks

You have a few options but I’d recommend selecting “Date and name based” and click “Update Permalink Structure” to enable them.

What permalinks do is it re-writes your blog post URL’s to more search engine friendly urls. For example, your most recent post’s url

http://lindseyharper.net/?p=34

Would be rewritten to

http://lindseyharper.net/2007/11/17/Seattle-Mariners-Ball-Girl-Behind-the-Back-Catch-Picture-of-the-Week-Dateline/

You’ll notice the majority of blogs that get indexed heavily by Google use a permalink structure as opposed to the ?p=xxx structure

This is a useful hack. I will keep this in mind and probably will try it out on our blog.

hi thanks for making it easier to do than most posts out there.

I got it working but one question.

is there a way to make the badge/button just a little bit smaller?

because of the size of the header image I have always used, it just is not fitting perfectly with all of the older posts.

if not I will just have to make the image a little smaller from now on.

thank you again.
