Ok. I’ve had some requests for my digg widget. So here it is.

Basically all it does it take the Javascript from the digg website to display your past 10 dugg stories and make it a widget. Maybe if I get some more time soon I will add more options so that you can have all the features that they allow.

Installation is easy:

  • Upload digg.php to your ‘wordpress/wp-content/plugins’
  • enable the plugin in your admin section
  • add it to your sidebar via the “presentation” tab
  • click the options box and put in your username


That’s it you’re done!

Happy coding!

Great idea. Is their any way of listing your top 10 dugg sites by number of diggs?

Hi, the link is correct. You need to right click and select “Save As…” and name it digg.php.

Thanks,

How does you make the dugg links into a list? I can’t seem to do it for the life of me.

The widget will put them in a list on your side bar.
