the link at the end of each post is a good idea, but how can i add it? is there a code for blogger?

 

[glamandtonic]

I was just about to ask the same thing as verymoni. I have no idea how to add it... is it possible with blogger?

 

[dreamecho]

Hey, Drusilla/Blue Floppy...is that you? And Camilla/glamandtonic! Nice to see you here.

Yes, it is possible to add a Digg It link to the bottom of each post in Blogger! I had seen other people on Blogger with it, so I went ahead just now and figured out how to do it. (I had been putting off doing it on my own blog.)

Basically, you have to go in and change the HTML. When you go to edit your template, make sure to check off the "Expand Widget Templates" box. You'll see that you get a whole lot more code that way. Then, copy, paste and save a backup of your HTML template into Notepad or some other word processing program. That way, if you screw up your code, you can always restore it.

Once you've copied your code into Notepad, use the "Find" function to find this line of code:

<p class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'>

Next, you'll want to copy the following line of code, and paste it right before the previous line of code:

<a expr:href='"http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&amp;url=" + dataost.url + "&amp;title=" + dataost.title' target='_blank'>Digg It!</a>

This is one very basic way of doing it; once you've familiarized yourself with this aspect of the code, you may want to change where you add the Digg It link. I've manipulated my own code a little more, plus I added Del.icio.us and StumbleUpon links. This is how I it looks on my own blog:

Hope this helps!

Thank you dreamecho

For some reason the only way I could get Digg It to work was with an image...thanks to you I now have text...

 

[Fontenrose]

That's great Dreamecho -- I dugg it!!

Success! Your story has been submitted.

In the next few minutes your story will appear in the upcoming stories section in the topic Arts & Culture

 

[dreamecho]

You're welcome, Hebden. I wasn't too keen on the button version, either. It took me a while to figure out how to do it with text only!

Wow, Fontenrose! I really appreciate that.

[glamandtonic]

dreamecho: Great to see you here too! And thank you so much for posting how to add it -you're the best <3

 

[Drusilla_]

Hey, Drusilla/Blue Floppy...is that you?

Yes indeed, it is me . Thanks a lot for the code- I'll probably fix it into my own layout sometime tonight!

 

[Dustcakeboy]

thanks for the guide, dreamecho, but how do I use the "Find" function?

 

[gius]

DCB : in Notepad... go to Edit, then Find

 

[verymoni]

i can't find this: <p class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> and I checked off the "expand widget templates"
what can I do?

 

[dreamecho]

verymoni, I took a look at your page source code and saw that yours was a little different. Try searching for this line:

<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'>

Try putting in the new code right before this line. Let me know if this works for you!

 

[verymoni]

not yet...
but thanks a lot

 

[Dustcakeboy]

^ I seem to be in the same boat.

Thanks to gius for helping me with the Find tool though.

 

[dreamecho]

I think DCB and verymoni have the same sort of code. It's kinda hard to tell without seeing your actual code...I'm going to give it one more shot....

Be back in a little while.

 

[dreamecho]

Find this line:

<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'>

and change the number "3" to a "4".
Then paste the following line in right before the line you just changed:

<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'>
<a expr:href='"http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&amp;url=" + dataost.url + "&amp;title=" + dataost.title' target='_blank'>Digg It!</a>
</div>

Any luck?

 

[verymoni]

nothing, there's no even "footer" in the code

 

[Hebden]

verymoni - are you using the Classic template in Blogger?

 

[PetitPuppy]

I was following your conversation and tried it with my blogger but it just doen't work.
It doesn't remind me of a 'normal' html code anyway. That sucks...

*edit* Yay, I got it!Damn, I'm stupid... Thanks for your explanations and stuff! Helped me alot!
