I really want it up beside the title, and I want the compact version, not the full size. I don’t know why the compact version does not display using the code Otto posted. I suspect to get it beside the title of each post, I need to put it somewhere in my index and / or sigle php files? I tried that, but everywhere I inserted it, it broke the display on my site.

Is anyone able to post simple instructions here for those of us finding this post, but who are not good enough coders to figure out how to make it work?

Thanks!

Keeping track of your Dugg posts can also be done with Gregarious. You can use the dugg_posts(‘show=list&limit=-1′) template tag which will output a list of your Dugg posts. But of course, that wont work for hosted users.

On another note, WordPress home users running WordPress on their own domains have a nicer option… Read up here: http://digg.com/tools/integrate

The gist of it is that you can put some minor script code onto your page and get a digg button in a variety of shapes and styles. What’s more, it’ll automatically recognize when a story of yours gets dugg, and will reflect the digg count accordingly. You can have it show nothing if a story has not been dugg, you can have it show a link where the readers can submit your story.

There have been a variety of plugins for WordPress home users to do this sort of thing. This kinda beats them all.

Here’s a script I use on my own site:

<script type="text/javascript">
digg_url = '<?php the_permalink(); ?>';
digg_title = '<?php the_title(); ?>';
digg_skin = 'compact';
digg_bgcolor = '#f5f5f5';
</script>

<script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

This displays a nice little floating compact digg button to the right of my post titles. Hey, I like it. It’s simple, it’s easy, and it’s automatically there. Fun!
