Digg to your Blogharbor/Blogware sites (and possibly other web based blogging tools):

Digg is one of the best online applications for getting readers to your articles or pointing out other usefull web sites and news to hundreds of users instantly.  It is the next Slashdot… only much better.

 

If you have been registered with digg.com for sometime, you should  realize the power of clicking a button and instantly sending digg entries directly to your blog.

 

Clicking the “blog” link after reading a great post on digg is a win-win-win action.  It boosts the digg posters ratings sending more readers his way, gives interested traffic to the site of interest and posts free instant content to your site.

 

However, digg seems partial to only Typepad, Live Journal, WordPress, Blogger and Moveable Type.  If you have blogware, Blogharbor or others web based blogging tools you may have felt left out of being able to use this powerful feature.

 

Here are the steps to sending content directly to your blog even if you don’t have Typepad, Blogger, Moveable Type, or Live Journal.  It definitely works with Blogware/Blogharbor, but may also work for other webbased blog apps.

 

DIGG Entries to your Bloghargor/Blogware Site:

 

If you are familiar with digg.com skip to step 3:

 

1)                  Assuming you are already a registered user of digg.com, Login and Goto your profile by clicking “my profile” Located in the upper right hand corner of the site.

 

2)                  Once you are in your profile click “Edit Profile” in upper Right hand corner just below the digg menu bar.

 

3)                  Go to the “blog preferences” where you’ll see type of blog, blog username, blog password and url of blog

 

Select “WordPress”  under type of blog

Enter your username & password

And enter the full URL of your blog

 

Digg will automatically recognize blogharbor based blogs as Blogware.

 

Your last step is the hit “Submit” and check the link.

 

 

“You digg?”
