Simply ad the code, by placing the plugin in the default plugin directory ‘wp-content/plugins’ , and activate the plugin via the WP-admin ‘Plugins’ area. That is it - Now your X-Digg Voting Button will appear beneath each of your posts (or on top - you chose in admin section - V2), for your user to vote on there favorite stories. This plugin also detects incoming links from X-Digg.com to your wordpress post and automatically updates the voting as people vote for your stories on X-Digg. The higher the votes the better position your story gets on X-Digg.com

V.2 - 10/3/2008
- Added the ability to remove the button on pages but keep the button on posts.
- Added the ability to keep the button on pages but remove the button on posts, for people that build galleries on pages and want to push their traffic there instead.
- New functions for more graceful error handling that guides users to the x-digg.com contact_us page, rather than making them guess who and where to contact. Also outlines the steps they need to follow to allow the debugger, whether myself or another contract worker, to diagnose the problem.
- Completely redid the permissions segment to finally squash the appearance of the dreaded “Dave” bug, This should make it easier for users to install and use out of the box.
-Tested the plugin on both a 2.3.3 and 2.6.2 version of WordPress. The rewritten code should also theoretically work on a 1.5 install, but I don’t a have a copy of that, and most people should have long since upgraded from that anyways.
