   I've been trying to find a way to get a Digg icon in my posts on my blog to make it easier for readers to add Diggs.

   DiggClick looks like the best, and it was easy to install and get configured. But, oddly, it never shows that my posts have been dugg. I tried Digg Integrator as well and had the same problem. I can get it to show the "Digg This!" icon, but never the icon that shows how many times something has been dugg, even though when I click on the "Digg This!" icon it takes me to the digg page showing how many diggs there are already.

   This is pretty frustrating...any suggestions?

   My blog is http://www.digitaldisplacement.com, by the way.

   Thanks,

   Howdy Tim,

   I'm the author of the diggIntegrator plugin and only just spotted your post. I thought I'd jump in and see if I could provide some help.

   The way diggIntegrator works is that it waits to catch incoming traffic from a digg.com article URL. When I first got started the plugin was catching a lot of false positives caused by category pages, upcoming article pages and even profiles. Instead of showing an icon you'd get an "ERROR 404" message.

   The only way I prevent this was to drastically restrict which pages would trigger the plugin and record the proper URL in the system.

   Right now, you can forcibly trigger the plugin by going to the actual story's URL on digg and then clicking through to your site. If that doesn't work you can also manually enter the correct URL in the "DiggURL" section of the "Custom Fields" dialogue at the bottom of the post page. If you still run into trouble with this drop me a line and I'll see if there's something more that can be done.

   While a lot of people have been downloading and using the program relatively few have reported issues to me. If you, or anyone else, encounter any problems I'd be glad to look into them.

   Thanks,

   bill
