- nepawoods, on 10/12/2007, -8/+19Why would anyone want to "get dugg more"? Does it make ones life better in some way?
- sq377, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Why would you want to get more diggs on wordpress? Everytime I see wordpress on digg it has crashed before I can go to it.
- junk92, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5This is a rip off of the original Digg this Wordpress plugin which exist for almost a year and many blogs use it.
Here is the original plugin http://www.aviransplace.com/digg-this-wordpress-plugin/ - jeff1943, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Nice concept. Don't know about the effectiveness though.
- tzon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6How about a plugin that allows WordPress to actually work whenever a WP blog gets dugg?
- bluemech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3If you're going to a website through Digg, chances are it's easier ot just digg it from where they started. Using digg this buttons just brings you back to digg anyway.
- elfn, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6I'd rather have a filter that removes blogs from my digg experience.
- genericface, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4For those making comments on the need for an extension that allows WordPress to handle Digg's traffic: http://mnm.uib.es/gallir/wp-cache-2/
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I think with [I-don't-know-how-many] registered Digg users, it's pretty much chaos theory. I've submitted articles from own site which I thought would at least be discussion-provoking, and they fell dead. One person stumbled on a trivial humorous parody I wrote (an old one from months back, at that!), and it got front-page Dugg and Reddit and Delicious and still gets hits from all over.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3That may be viable for others. When I added social bookmarking to my blog, I went with "Socializer" (@ ekstreme.com), so I have 44 social bookmark sites covered in one whack, without delaying my page load waiting for fourty-four icons to load for each post. I have only just put it in, though, so time will tell if it's effective. The curios may see it in action here:

I do see the benefit of a Digg button (or the Reddit button you also have) right on the page, though, but again Digg and Reddit are just two sites.
Neat blog you have, by the way! - mesarah, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1I think its great
- Gism0, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2This is neat but I don't like the way it redirects you, what we need is a proper (official) button to add to a page, where you can digg a link without leaving the page instead of redirecting you to digg.com.
- RonaldLewis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Interesting. I'd simply like to understand the community's take on those submitting their own articles. SEO seems to do well, including others, but I'm left scratching my head when I submit, for example, an in-depth interview with Kevin Rose, which only gets 10 diggs! Go figure! I've certainly submitted some interesting material -- of my own, and belonging to others, but I've yet to understand the "magic" in attracting more diggs. Who knows.
- talman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1There is a WordPress plugin which does page caching (WP-Cache), but I'm still wondering how it would handle the digg effect.
- rayishu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I guess u could add this to any site if u really wanted to Diggs API makes it easy to send this stuff
using PHP u can just take your data put it in the DTD that digg has setup in its submit.php
URLencode it and your all set - Daniel591992, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I like to call it duggmirror :P
- lxcid, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Hi all, the author didn't explain much on how to install his plugin in a wordpress. I did a few trail and error and finally got it on my website. I wrote an article on it so if you are interested in implementing this and need a guide on how to do it, check out my guide. :D
http://www.thedarkestsociety.com/2006/09/18/simple-step-by-step-guide-to-install-digg-in-your-wordpress/ - eric0213, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I could see it being effective. I typically like to read the article before digging, this just makes it so that I don't have to go back to digg to do so. Like if I get interrupted or the boss walks in, I don't want to have my boss seing I'm on digg.
- championchap, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1i swear ive seen one that works properly on a blog before now
any ideas anyone? - wrongplanet, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1The digg feature on this guy's blog seems to work better because it diggs your story without you needing to click on "digg" when you get to digg.com:

(at the bottom of the page) - dmron, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Cool idea. :)
- realnebby, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Sounds like a nice API function for Digg to provide. It would be a means of checking the referal URL to see if it is a digg entry for the page and then provide back the code to add the digg box to ones page.
- tonyd138, on 12/13/2007, -0/+0nevermind.
- Allendale2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I copy-pasted this guy's script to my digg-this subdir and it seems to have changed what was written in the plugin, and a page-not-found message appears embedded in it. Is this right?
- cmilki, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Is there a similar one for Blogger ?
- MySchizoBuddy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1having tons of friends who will dugg whatever u submit. whether it makes sense or not.
thats the digg magic. - MySchizoBuddy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1blogger won't allow u to add php in it
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Who gives a ***** digg kills wordpress pages everytime. More like wordpress needs a duggmirror button.
- tygern, on 10/12/2007, -13/+4Sounds like cheating to me.
