Insert the digg Button into post
If you have encountered digg, you must see the yellow digg button which shows how many people has dugg that post. It may be useful if you can insert a dig button into your post too! However, many tutorials only show you how to create Digg buttons for your blogs. Until recently, I saw one good post about the insertion of digg button, and hence want to share with you.
What we need is a way to be able to append a Digg counter to each of our posts - individually. The actual Digg code that's provided at sites like the one above is always in SCRIPT form. Common sense would have us pasting that SCRIPT code directly into the Blogger post where we want our Digg button to go. This, if you've ever tried it, doesn't work. Blogger does not allow the SCRIPT tag in anything other than the Blogger template - which doesn't help us much.
Below are the basic steps needed for digg button insertion:
1. Copy this code.
