Digg Icon At Blogger.com Posts

Do you notice the Digg icon at the right part of this post. Do you want to put the same thing in your Blogger.com blog. I know you do; that's why you don't have to look somewhere else. Here's how:

1.) Copy the following code to your clipboard:


<div style='float:right; margin-left:10px;'>
<script type='text/javascript'>
digg_url = '<data:post.url/>';
</script>
<script src='http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js'
type='text/javascript'>
</script>
</div>



2.) Logon to your Blogger.com. Choose Layout in the dashboard. Then click Edit HTML. Check the Expand Widget Templates checkbox. Find the code indicated below by pressing Ctrl-F.


<div class='post-header-line-1'/>

or

<div class='post-header-line-1'>
.
. (maybe some codes are in here)
.
</div>


3.) If you got the first one with a backslash before the ending tag (">"), split it to two by omitting the backslash and creating a separate ending tag. Just like the second one. See code below as an example.


<div class='post-header-line-1'>

</div>


4.) Insert the code you copied into clipboard right after <div class='post-header-line-1'>

5.) Click Save Template.

So that's it, you've got now your own Digg Icon at the upper right corner of your all the posts in your blog. Your readers can click it to submit your article to Digg.com and/or to Digg it. The icon will also show you how many people have actually "Dugg" your post.

Test Your Blog Pages In Different Browsers

This sounds elementary but many bloggers like me ignore this tip. I'd been doing my blog with Firefox at home and didn't bother to check out how it looked like in Internet Explorer. Until one day, I don't know what came into me but I tried to view my blog in my office computer and found out that my blog didn't look right with Internet Explorer. This is how it looked like:



Notice the overlapping of Google search and my post area border? When I got home that day, I quickly tried to find a way to fix. For so many days, whenever I got home, I'd been traying but didn't get it right. It is only now that I fixed it.

So if I were you, always check your blog using at least the two common browsers, Firefox and Internet Explorer. If you can try it with others and also at a different resolution, that is even better.
