HOWTO: Adding a "Digg This!" Link to Your Blogzerk Blog

Digg is a great resource for sharing technology-related blog posts, not to mention bringing visitors to your blog. To give your blog readers an easy way to submit an article on your blog to Digg, you can add a link to your category and article templates. For this example, we are going to put at "Digg This!" link next to the Permanent Link and Cosmos (and Post to del.icio.us link if you have added it) links in both the category and article view.

To do this, first customize your category template. Edit the code for the template and find the block of code that looks like this:

Code:

{{if cosmos_url}}
 |  <a href="{{cosmos_url}}">Cosmos</a>
{{/if}}

After that code, copy and paste the following:

Code:

 |  <a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url={{permalink_url}}" target="_blank">Digg This!</a>

Save your changes. You should now see a link next to your Permalink and Cosmos (if enabled) links in the category view. Repeat this change for the article template. The code to find and to add is the same in both templates.
