Guide: How to add a DiggIt and Del.icio.us button to blogger

For many bloggers out there the most concerning thing related to your blog is traffic. To help generate traffic there are two great tools out there that you can use. One is Del.icio.us and the other is Digg. For those of you that don't know what either does then just Google it to find out.

Both can help drive in users to your site which is great. Only problem is how do you make it easy to get your visitors to use the two?

Well after searching for different ways to do this I couldn't find a solution that would work with blogger. After discovering some different methods for other services I decided to tinker with the code and eventually I got it to work. Here is how you can put some quick and easy links to help out your visitor:
_________________________________________________

First, the way this code will work is that it will take your reader to the site and automatically insert in some information such as the article link and title making it easier for them to digg or tag your site. Because of this you need to put it where the links will show up under each and every post.

Go to ----> Edit Template. Next scroll down and find your bar that has the comments button and your name and link on it.

Scroll past --->
/*
-----------------------------------------------
Blogger Template Style
Name: Rounders 3
Designer: Douglas Bowman
URL: www.stopdesign.com


Keep going until you see a code that looks like this:
<p>
<$BlogItemBody$>
</p>

</div>

<p class="post-footer">
<em>By: <$BlogItemAuthorNickname$><a href="<$BlogItemPermalinkUrl$>" title="permanent link">Permalink</a></em>
<BlogItemCommentsEnabled>

Should be about half-way down the page although it will change for everyone.
Right before "<BlogItemCommentsEnabled>" just enter in:

<a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=3&url=<$BlogItemPermalinkUrl$>" Title="Submit To Digg" target="_blank">DiggIt!</a>

<a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=<$BlogItemPermalinkUrl$>&title=
<$BlogItemTitle$>" Title="Del.icio.us" target="_blank">Del.icio.us</a>

Please note that the code above is two seperate codes. One for Digg and the other for Del.icio.us. They should be put in one right below the other. Also, I suggest that you make both one line of code. So the digg code would be just one line of code and the del.icio.us code would be just one line of code.

Also, if you want the two links to be seperated by a "|" then just add "nbsp;|& nbsp;" wherever you want it.

Here is what the final product will look like:



Enjoy! P.S. if you do choose to use this guide then could you at least link somewhere on your site to this specific post so everyone in the blogger world will have it! Thanks!

I was also looking for this, but I took it a step further by checking an RSS feed of the Diggs for my blog and writing the URL linking to them on Digg. I'm working on getting around some of the feed caching issues, but it works for now: http://ipbs.blogspot.com/2006/03/how-to-get-your-digg-counts-displayed.html

Doug said...

Thanks, just what I was looking for. I also added a Reddit submission link to my template after a little digging:

<a href="http://reddit.com/submit?url=<$BlogItemPermalinkUrl$>&title=<$BlogItemTitle$>" title="Submit to Reddit" target="_blank">Reddit</a>

Doug

fizdane said...

Thank you very much. It's really helpful.

jebratt said...

well,, i tried your suggestion but couldn't get it to work... any ideas ??

jono

n3il89 said...

if you could email me your template then I'll take a look:

freeelectronicstuff@gmail . com

^Take out the spaces.

n3il89 said...

Alright jebratt, I've taken a look at your source code and I believe I know where to put the code in. If you could just email me your template code then I can send edits back to you and it should work!

Jeff said...

I put the code for del.icio.us and reddit on my blog.

My problem was that the links did not appear in my archives. Everything in my footer after the permalink was cut off.

The solution was to place the links BEFORE the permalink code (which is not really where I want them).

Anyone have a different solution?

n3il89 said...

There should be something that says "MainArchivePage" or something like that. Just put it behind that part and it should be fine.

I'm not sure but if you take that "MainArchivePage" out and also the "/MainArchivePage" a little below then there shouldn't be a problem at all. However, I've never done that so I suggest previewing and making sure everything is ok.

Hope it helped.

The only problem that I'm having is that when you click on the digg it button its only automatically inserting the article link and not the title. Is this not working for others?

manny hernandez said...

I wish I had read this before coming up with my own solution, which pretty much looked a lot like this one.

I will apply the idea for the del.icio.us link, though. Thanks for posting it!

Miss 604 said...

Thanks for the tip! Just added Digg and Delicious to my site :)

thanks!

Brian said...

Awesome. Thanks.

Michal said...

Thank you, I did use your suggestion and modified it to display a button instead on my blog.

I also noticed that you have content tags on your post, which I have not been able to get to work. I don't suppose you'd be willing to share with us how to add those tags?

UK web hosting said...

Many Thanks - works a treat, saved me loads of time ;-)

Paul Cooley said...

In response to Andrew's question:
"The only problem that I'm having is that when you click on the digg it button its only automatically inserting the article link and not the title. Is this not working for others?
Andrew"

You simply need to add the title Argument to the URL. Example:
<a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=3&url=<$BlogItemPermalinkUrl$>&title=<$BlogItemTitle$>" Title="Submit To Digg" target="_blank">DiggIt!</a>

The following is from the digg.com site elaborating all the potential arguments to the submit URL. If you were bold you might put <$BlogItemBody$> in the bodytext, but that is going overboard?
http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=www.UniqueURL.com&title=StoryTitle&bodytext=StoryDescription&topic=YourSelectedTopic

Thanks...Great work..excellent blog

Andree said...

Hi...I like the looks of this but I have not been able to find the tags you mention in my templates!

I started a test blog and Blogger won't accept the code: it says it is not properly parsed.

I'm pretty new to this. Could you offer any help? I would like to have reddit, digg, technorati, stumbleupon, and delicious.

Thank you!

n3il89 said...

Are you using old or new blogger...this code does not work with the new blogger

Andree said...

new one

so i guess this is why nobody's instructions don't make sense: they are all for the old ones.

thank you for the help, tho. it would've been a cool thing to have.

Fraser said...

Hi, i have been trying to add these buttons for a while now, and i just can't seem to get them to work. I was wondering what version of Blogger you use? Does it matter on the version that you use?

n3il89 said...

This only works with the old blogger

Enrico Suarvé said...

Hopefully this will help all those of you who have changed to the new blogger - I've not tested the del.icio.us referral but the diggit definitly works

It has to be included within the blog widget - select expand widgets to figure out where to place it

Hope it helps...

<a Title='Submit To Digg' expr:href='"http://digg.com/submit?phase=3&amp;url=" + data:post.url + "&amp;title=" + data:post.title' target='_blank'>DiggIt!</a>|
<a Title='Del.icio.us' expr:href='"http://del.icio.us/post?url=" + data:post.url + "&amp;title=" + data:post.title' target='_blank'>Del.icio.us</a>

Enrico Suarvé said...

If anyone is interested I've put the code for buttons and how to add them to new blogger in my blog
