digg

Hmm. Anyone see a way to make it automatically add the appropriate url? And I wonder how to pass Wordpress variables like title/excerpt to the script. May need to stick with a plugin for now. But I really like the compact view...

Solves several gripes made by the Digg community in one shot. Fantastic work!

Maybe now they could fix the comment threshold routinely ignoring my preference and setting it to '+0'?

Anyone else notice that this brand-spankin' new "digg this" button is mysteriously absent from the blog post?

Nicely done, though. Rich APIs are always welcome.

Blogspam diggbait -- now even easier!

Glad to see the update--always nice to see solid, incremental improvement.

Lords of Digg will not like to read this.
Having posts by Kevin, Jay et al that are promoting new features on Digg that rise quickly to the front page (undoubtedly through democratic means) really smacks of self-promotion and the 'me, me brigade'. These kinds of announcements have value for the community but should not be competing with non-Digg related traffic. I really don't believe that any of the Digg leaders need to have their egos boosted by seeing their stories making the front page do they? Why not have these appear as announcements, perhaps in a scrolling bar somewhere?

And retain the busy part of Digg for its intended purpose - to allow the community to share their favourite bits on the net with each other. I like Digg for what it represents. Recent changes (Top Users etc) are good innovations to keep the digital democracy going. Ongoing innovation on Digg should not have articles that compete with those external to Digg.

my tuppence worth...

Still waiting on the ability to easily digg podcast episodes...

I was thinking of writing something like this, but then got lazy. It's good to see this become a reality, since I bet a ton of people were wishing for it.

Anyone else notice when using the compact button, the 'number of diggs' link tries to open in the current iframe, rather than the parent window via target="_top" like the 'digg it' link does?

maybe they could also fix the HTML validation issues....make it possible to include it without invalidating your page (ampersands have been done as & instead of &)

would be nice for a future upgrade if position of it could be done by specifying an elements ID instead....means the script include can be in the header where it's mean to be instead of 1/2 way down the page where you want it to appear

The "compact" skin doesn't seem to work on my site for some reason. Bummer.

Compact has a bug. Any clicks inside the compact load the page in the micro-iframe the compact digg is sitting in. Compact needs a target to break out of the iframe otherwise it's useless.

:(

DId anyone else notice this bug?

When I click on the number of diggs an article of mine gets, it tries to open its digg page in the tiny box the digg button is in...

Try clicking on this article's # of diggs link:

A bug? If so, I think my comment should be dugg to solve the issue...

Took long enough ;)

For the coding inept, how would you incorporate these new features in the new Blogger templates?

I just tried the compact one on a website, but it randomly was the compact one or the regular sized one. This is quite a problem because the big one breaks my layout. I guess I'll be waiting until the get all they bugs out.

Ok, I know I'm gonna get dugg down here because I'm using the evil Microsoft, but how would you incorporate it with a .net datalist? In the template I have tags such as ...%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ID") %...
which work fine with anchor tags and the like....how do I get that to work with javascript though?

The podcast Digg button is great, I have been waiting for this for our podcast since the podcast section was created.

Here's how to take advantage of the new version in your Blogger template.

It'd be nice if you could have a disappearing button submit button, which gives way to the normal "Digg This" button. By this I mean:

>>Submit Button: Small 16x16 digg logo, visible only in your postmetadata until someone submits your story. Then it is no longer necessary and disappears.

>>Main Digg Button: Larger, vote button, perhaps floating in with the story content. This would only be active/visible after after the story is submitted.

I still can't get my blogspot account working...

ironic there is no digg button on the story page
