I’ve been playing around with another weekend project, this time what I set out to build is something that will give me a ‘Digg This’ button that I can put on my website.

If you live under a rock and haven’t kept up with my blog posts on Digg, here’s what it’s about.

Let me explain what I mean by a digg button, after all there are ‘digg this’ generators out there already.

But all they do is put a little text link on my site that makes people go off to digg.com if they want to vote for my article.

That’s not what I want. I want the real McCoy, I want the actual real live digg button on my page. I want it to show the count of diggs. I want it to be clickable, and I definitely want to see the vote animation like on Digg.com.

I thought this might be a cool little javascript I could let other people use too, so I whipped up a simple little generator: you can make your own digg this buttons here.
