well i did get Press It to work this time, so that’s cool. i’ll definitely be able to use it for other sources i report.

digg.com’s ‘blog this’ function does two things Press It will not:

1-Provide the link to the actual story instead of just to digg.com

2-Fill in the original posting author’s words.

yes, i could just go to the source link myself and do a write-up. the digg.com ‘blog this’ is much faster for me to use, and i feel compelled to give credit to the original person who reported the information.

so thanks anyways for the help, and i did get press it to work for me as a result of this. i’m thinking i’ll just have to wait for digg.com to update their functions and i’ll have to keep logging in to change those categories.

if that’s the worst to happen i’m still ahead of the game.

ouch, you are absolutely right and i am absolutely wrong and selfish.

i made the newby error that if my post fell off the first page nobody would ever get to it. i’ve had such great responses the few times i’ve asked before that i figured nobody cared to help. again, my bad.

yes, the first thing i did was to change Options>Writing>Default Post Category to the one I wanted. I also changed the default post by mail category just in case.

i checked both those threads and they are also unresolved (or they appear to be ).

it seems to be an ongoing WP problem, unless someone else has a fix. i will resign myself that WP is not perfect and move on

again no harm or selfishness intended.

*** bump ***

I searched the support forums and the wiki, which returns no results for even the basic search term ‘digg’. I imagine this will change soon since digg.com now supports blogging directly to your wordpress blog and kevin rose has stated he may switch to wordpress.

For now, however, can anyone help me change the default category that my digg.com stories post to? I’ve changed it in the only two places I see, and it still goes to my default.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the honest feedback!

I tweaked the adsense to lose the border, and dropped the full leaderboard under my logo to a smaller banner after the first post.

Better?

I also tweaked the sidebar sections so more important stuff is at the top.

Content is always being doled out.

doh! the “Users must be registered …” was still checked. My attention was focused too much on the Options>Discussion settings.

Thank you very much.

There are no dumb questions, just some are very easy to answer.

Cool, got it, but there’s that little diamond bullet next to it? I don’t see it is part of an UL or anything???

Thanks much!
