How I got that pretty Digg It Button

See the Digg It! button I’ve added at the right top of each post?  And how it neatly takes you to a page where the URL’s already filled out and you have just a couple of steps to complete? Here’s how I did it.

First, I tried the script from Brandon Hopkins, and that just didn’t do anything.  Not sure if it’s a WP version issue, or what, but I tested on two sites and had no joy.  Then I found slightly different javascript from Bill2Me.  Then I combined Brandon’s styling with the code from Bill2Me, and got this:

<div style=”float: right; margin-left: 15px; margin-bottom: 2px;”><script type=”text/javascript”>    digg_url = ‘<?php the_permalink() ?>’; </script><script src=”http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js” type=”text/javascript”> </script></div>

Look at Brandon’s post to see where to put the code.  Every template can vary a little, but that should get you started.  Post a comment if you have questions!
