Using Digg on your blog

Go to www.digg.com and set up an account. It's free. What's so great about digg.com? If you look at the bottom of my blog page you will see a window with stories from Digg.com that I clicked on while browsing interesting news articles.

Digg allows you to create that little window for your blog, but it also frees up your blog space to write about more than just a couple of interesting news stories.

The two top diggs in my window down below right now are actually not news items, but postings on the Craigslist.com Rants and Raves for Springfield, Illinois. Normally, those wouldn't even show up as "Diggs" unless you manually add the web address.

Now that they are on Digg.com, they will be more visible and more likely to spread virulently on the Internet. If you add Diggs to it it will move higher on the list of popularity, and be read by more and more people.

You should try to add your own posts to Digg.com too.
