thanks for sharing this plugin. We bloggers have people like you to thank. I don’t know what i would do without plugins produced by people like you.

Glad you found it useful!

Yep, the plug-in is still enabled otherwise the “Digg This” button wouldn’t show up.

While getting the Digg traffic is nice I think that we would constantly be marked as spam no matter what. There are just some Diggers, unfortunately many of them, who view any blog as being spam. It wouldn’t be an issue if our articles were only submitted once in awhile but people submit nearly every single one…which I believe is the cause of us getting banned in the first place.

Am I disappointed with that? Actually not that much because I realize that we have enough readers that enjoy our material that they felt it was worth submitting to Digg. I’m very confident that our community will continue to grow and maybe at some point Digg will rethink their banning policy, but right now I don’t think they will be making exceptions.

To bad Digg banned you. Do you still have this enabled? Also, you should work a little harder on getting rid of that “middleman” status. If you pushed hard enough and proved you have original content (like this post ), I’m sure they would eventually revoke the ban.

Yep, it’s that advert. [...]

I’m not sure why this isn’t working for you because it has worked for other people. You have followed the instructions that I listed on the plug-in’s homepage?

I’ve tried to make this work but it does not show up in any way. I’ve followed all your instructions and I’m using WP latest version. THis does not work.

We can see that this website is not a simply WordPress website. You did a great job for customize it! Keep up the good work and… after plugin 1… should come plugin 2, 3… 100. Happy coding!
