Digg, Reddit and Del.icio.us in blogger posts

Adding Digg, Reddit, Del.icio.us and whichever social bookmarking button you like to blogger posts seems to be difficult for many people. As you can see, I have today added these buttons.

For Digg, I used a piece of code floating around for a long time. It seems to be there on quite a few sites, so I don't really know whom to credit for it. Regardless, this is the code:

I replaced <p><data:post.body/></p> in the template with

<p>

<!-- DIGG -->

<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'/>

</div>

<data:post.body/>

</p>

And that easily, its done.

The smaller buttons I have added to each post (you can have Digg here too) what you have to do is:

1. Find the buttons you would like to use, and upload them somewhere from where you can access them. You can use a site you have, or some free image hosting service.
   
2. Note the links to the image files for each.
3. Finally, create code like this for each service:

<a expr:href='&quot;http://del.icio.us/post?url=&quot; + data:post.url + &quot;&amp;title=&quot; + data:post.title' target='_blank' title='Add to Del.icio.us!'><img border='none' height='20' src='http://www.wide-aware.com/share/delicious.png' width='20'/></a>

<a expr:href='&quot;http://reddit.com/submit?url=&quot; + data:post.url + &quot;&amp;title=&quot; + data:post.title' target='_blank' title='Submit to Redit!'><img border='none' height='20' src='http://www.wide-aware.com/share/reddit.png' width='20'/></a>

These are the two examples I have given, but really, you can do this to submit to any service you would like to submit to. Some popular submit urls for the commonly known services are:
