I just think they look pretty!

Seriously though, I got a digg with 30 minutes of adding them to my site, so I’ll wait a little longer before I decide if they are going to stay. Incidentally, I used the gregarious plugin to install the buttons (and a whole other bunch of social bookmarking tools), although had to add a little custom css to get them to look good.

Thanks for feeback CLKL!

I think that is probably most important reason. Will you feel happier with or without?

- No harm in experimenting of course.

Disadvantages of Having a Digg Button #4:
It can be discouraging to the blog owner.

I removed all the digg buttons from my posts, after realizing that diggers weren’t my target audience. It just seemed simpler.

Since removing these buttons, I feel better. I don’t have to face all those zeros…

All the best,
