Add a Digg button to your blogger blog posts and gain traffic

Digg and other social bookmarking networks are a trusty way of gaining traffic to your website, if the content is valuable or interesting, the chances of it getting digged and drawing readers is more likely.

To allow someone to "digg" your blog posts without too much effort, it helps to put a digg button next to your blog posts. Even for people without any technical skills - this is quite straight forward if you have blogger.

This works best in Mozilla Firefox, as the find facility doesn't seem to work on Google Chrome.

1/ Go to Layout

2/ Go to Edit HTML

3/ Click on the box entitled Expand widget templates

4/ Press CTRL + F to get up the search box

5/ Enter data:post.body/ in the search box

6/ Paste the code from this guys blog:

7/ Preview it, if you want to change the size then edit the part which says 10px and if you want the button on the other side of the post change the Float:right; margin-left: to Float:left; margin-right:

8/Save it! Now every old post and future post will have a digg button alongside it.
