How to add a DiggIt and Del.icio.us links/button to blogger
Do you want to make it easy have your blog be submitted to the social networking sites like Digg and Del.icio.us?
You can add the submission URLs to the Comment footer of each of your blogger posts.
Below is how to do this in both the new and old version of Blogger.
Heads Up Folks: I've recently updated a simplier way to do this at this new post here.

1.check whether email post page element is added to your blog .
if not, you can add thru template --->page elements page in your blog admin page
2.after adding email-post , search for in the edit html page of Templage.
do not forget to check "Expand Widget Templates"
3.paste the following snippet before tag

<a expr:href='"http://del.icio.us/post?url=" +
data:post.url + "&title=" + data:post.title'

OLD BLOGGER
(1) Goto your blogger Template.
(2) Search for the BlogItemCommentsEnabled section.
(3) Add the submission URLs following the template:
digg: http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=www.UniqueURL.com&
title=StoryTitle&bodytext=StoryDescription&topic=YourSelectedTopic
del.icio.us:
http://del.icio.us/post?url=www.UniqueURL.com&title=StoryTitle
The below is the example of the BlogItemCommentsEnabled section I am using.
<BlogItemCommentsEnabled><br><a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=3&url=<$BlogItemPermalinkUrl$>&title=<$BlogItemTitle$>" Title="Submit To Digg" target="_blank">DiggIt!</a> | <a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=<$BlogItemPermalinkUrl$>&title=<$BlogItemTitle$>" Title="Del.icio.us" target="_blank">Del.icio.us</a> | <a href="<$BlogItemCommentCreate$>"
<$BlogItemCommentFormOnclick$>>
<$BlogItemCommentCount$> ;comments</a>

OK. That looks interesting and something I understand! I might have to come back and look into the code when it's not so late at night.
Do you know anything about making the 3 column template work right? I'm still having trouble with the padding, margins and column heights to line up properly. Thanks.
