Digg Comes Out With Friendly Buttons For Every Site

Feb 6, 2007 by Tamar Weinberg | Social Networks

Digg Button Compact with a Red BackgroundToday, Digg announced that it is offering improved functionality over plugins that you see on other blogs. Those who have been confused by the installation of such third-party tools should be happy to know that Digg has announced “smart” buttons, buttons that don’t only afford you the opportunity to Digg a blog post, but can be extended to any website page (it’s a simple Javascript code snippet), and will even check against current content on Digg to see if you’re submitting a duplicate story. The color of the button also can be modified to match with your site’s color scheme and a smaller version is available as well.

In the included screenshot, you can see the compact Digg button in action on a red background.

Check it out and see how you can configure these buttons to work best with your site.

    Yeah!

    I could never get the old button code to work…

    Yeah, that old button was difficult to implement. It’s even harder to test out with WP-Cache installed because the changes aren’t immediate.

    Yeah that’s fantastic… UNLESS YOUR DOMAIN HAS BEEN BANNED!
