I agree with all of your points about Digg, and I am just glad about the experience i got. But despite the content being "digg worthy", I believe the description you provided at Digg, also made people curious to click on the link and take a look at it... so even if the content is good, <strong>its important to provide as much and an accurate account/summary of the post for others to readily decide if they want to check it out or not, </strong> because on Digg, I bet people move on from simply looking at the title and description! who has the time to click and read each and every post there? so, thank you once again :) Deborah… you know how I think of you, dont you? :) kindest soul on earth, ready to help out anyone, all the time and thats what I admire about you.

You can only learn what works for each by spending dedicated time on them. Until you know what appeals to the sites, you're stabbing aimlessly at the dark. I hope I don't get heat for what I'm about to say, but if you don't have the right content it will never make it to Digg's front page before getting buried. Submitting something that doesn't work for the crowd is a futile effort, as it doesn't bring any more traffic to your site, or provide any backlinks. You put a lot of effort into providing a resource for people, which is something very 'diggable.' Some diggers consider anything to do with a blog as spam, while others don't, provided it's good and enlightening content and not spammy. You had various links to sites that the Digg community trusts such as ProBlogger and Treehugger, along with blog sites, so it was a hit and miss with the crowd. Things that typically make it on Digg are breaking news, science, tech info, and the occasional bizarre or very deep heart-felt story (not something about your uncle who had a story to tell). If you're trying for a front page for something other than that, I recommend trying other social sites. That's what networking is all about, each of us helping one another. I'm so glad that so many came to help you Pearl. You're a gem, and many know it ;-) RT had sent me the the info for the plugin which I had my webmaster install, but I still don't know how to use it, pppffft. I use Media Temple and have never had a problem or been down, other than when they've had scheduled maintenance. They automatically detect when your site's being hit and put it into a 'container burst' to handle the added traffic so you don't go down. I've always had immediate live assistance whenever I've called with extremely friendly and curteous service. I highly recommend them to anyone.

One sad fact is that Digg has a hard core group who are deicated to giving bury's to ensure many posts never get far, and they choose and pick which ones will never get to the front page....that's an unfair system though. Good for you though....excellent posting as always my friend. Catch you later, Take care Colin Congratulations Pearl,
