As I already mentioned back then, Digg Digg is a great tool to add social networking buttons in our WordPress blog. It truly allows us to easily integrate our favorite social media buttons in to our WordPress blog base on our need. One of great features from Digg Digg is the ajax floating style feature. This ajax floating style feature allows us to put the social networking buttons in side of our blog (so will not disturb our blog main contain/blog post) and follow the page scrolling (which I believe able to increase the conversion rate of social networking buttons).
Here how to activate the Digg Digg ajax floating style feature:
The Complete Steps To Use “Digg Digg” Ajax Floating Style

Final Words
In this post, I write step by step how to use “Digg Digg” social networking buttons in new style – in ajax floating style indeed.

Yes, it is great.
I am using Digg Digg with Ajax floating…but every time the page loads, the page would go straight down to the comments section. But still, its just a minor problem.
You may ask the author to fix it.
This Ajax Floating Style doesn’t work on my theme. I liked them very much
Indeed, I heard that several time. Lucky me this feature is working perfectly for Atahualpa.
awesome tutorial but i am worried about the loading issues.. i always try to avoid too much Ajax and JavaScripts
I think the loading time is still acceptable as long as we do not use too much button.
Nice info Dana i used it for a while but had to disable it because it seems to be in confick with the wordpess great box plugin
I do not use the great box so I do not know about the conflicting.
Hi Dana,
Nice tip. I am currently using the Digg Digg plugin. But I found it bit time consuming. I believe, Digg Digg would have been better if it had used the topsy twitter button.
Hope Digg Digg creator hear this!
Hi Dana,
It seems like he have heard us. In the new version he have added the topsy button.
Great, I already changed to topsy button.
