Digg has very cool feature which I’m sure most of you don’t know about. It makes blogging digged posts a breeze. I assume all of you what’s Digg and what it’s all about. Basically it’s a social network where people share interesting web sites, web pages , videos, images , podcasts etc with their friends and those who like it can vote (digg) for it. Digg has been around for quite a while now, I’m not sure how long myself.
The feature I’m talking about for the bloggers who wants to blog about something they found on Digg. When you log in to your account andgo to “My Profile” and then “Settings”, on the right column you will see some options, one being “blog settings”. If you click on that, you will see the procedures to link your blog to your Digg account. I believe there will have the steps for most popular blogging platform. Once you’ve done that, and enabled blogging, you can add digged news to your blog in just a few clicks.
When you find an article that you want to share with your reader, click on the icon which shows the number of diggs the article received to view more information. On this page, right under the details of that article, you will see 4 tabs, “Comments”, “Who Dugg Or Blog It”, “Blog It” and “Email It”. We are interested with the “Blog It” feature remember? So, click on that tab.
Now you will see, 2 edit boxes, one for the title and one for the content, you can now make some changes to the original digged article before you click on the Blog It button and the article is automatically posted as the latest blog post on the blog you linked to your account.
Isn’t it a cool feature? Did you know about it? If you have any problems with the steps I explained above, post a comment or email me if you need help.
