Automatically Submit Your Blog RSS Feed to Digg

Digg logoWith Digg’s recent upgrade, an amazing thing happened- you can auto-submit links to Digg from your blog’s RSS feed! Yay- no more manual submissions.

But, my excitement dwindled, when I could no longer remember how to get there- not familiar with Digg’s new interface. I figured it out again and here’s how to submit your RSS feed to Digg:
1. Login to Digg
2. Click to the arrow just right of your icon at the top of the page, and select ‘Settings’
3. On the left of the page, you’ll then see Import Feeds… click that.
4. Now, enter your feed URL and it will provide your code, something like this: <!--a8bdfsa849629e12682340e83423a—>
5. Copy and paste that piece of code (the second one with <!—and –> around it) and paste it into a new post in your WordPress blog. You can save it as a draft for now.
6. The next time you post to your blog, make sure you have that code there. Don’t worry, it’s invisible when you paste it in the HTML edit mode. Don’t paste it in the Visual mode, otherwise it WILL be visible.
7. After publishing and when your post shows up in your feed, go back to Digg, log back in, and follow step 2 and 3 above to get back to the Import Feeds area. Then Verify your feed.
8. If all goes well, it should verify. Now, the NEXT time and all future times you post, it will be automatically posted to Digg (there could be a delay).
Enjoy!
