Chapter 8

Digg.com is a type of ranking website for news stories from various other websites. I happen to stumble onto a function that digg.com offers where you can post stories that you "dugg" directly to your blog (as long as your blog was part of one of the services that they are able to post to). This is useful, because it allows digg.com members than have blogs to share certain stories with the viewers of their blogs with a simple click.

This is a lot easier than copying and pasting the entire article, or emailing several people, or even manually creating a link. Readers have the option to click to read the article, or not to.

Also, with this digg.com option, I could have written my entire post. All the text except "WooHoo!" was generated by Digg. All of the text, including the subject line, is able to be edited or added to.

Neato idea! :)
