WordPress.com Adds Digg Voting Capability
February 23, 2007 in Blogging, Social Web
No need for a widget or Javascript. If you’re on a WordPress hosted domain, (like this blog) just add digg= http://digg.com/url_to/story_on_digg (surrounded by brackets) [like this] and it will turn into a Digg button. Source
You can see the story at Digg here: Just a side note, there’s some discussion there about Digg crushing a WordPress domain. My experience with Digg and WordPress was certainly crash free. WordPress held up quite well under the strain of over 75,000 visitors in just 24 hours.
