Installing the Digg This plugin
Monday, March 3rd, 2008Time to complete: 1 hour ( I had some knowledge issues)
Installing the Digg this plugin sounds like an awesome way to advertise the blog. Little did I know, I had to learn just a little bit more. The installation here also gets a little technical. So, if you’re not used to what FTP does, it will take some time.
This option seemed to take longer than any other option. I think it was due to not reading and understanding everything thoroughly. Also, I wanted immediate results to show what I had done worked correctly.
Here’s a run down. I followed the instructions on how to install it. I went back to my site to see something. Guess what? nothing was there. So, as a programmer, I played a little with the code, added some debugging text and still nothing. So, I had to find another solution. I soon discovered there is a more in depth description of how to install the “digg this” plugin. My main issue… this link does not display unless someone has already “dugg” an article! That was my big mistake. So, I went to digg.com, registered, and submitted a digg for my article. So far, I haven’t seen anything yet. Hopefully, I will see something soon.
Next step… Find the code or a plugin to allow someeone to Digg my article. Once I find it, I’ll post it.
Best.
