Being First to Digg An Article Takes Care & Effort, Part 2 Process Posted 5 months ago

I thought I'd take screen captures from beginning to end on the whole first time submission process of a post or article to Digg.com

If you Digg articles often, the process becomes more automatic for you and will definitely help well deserved articles rise to the top and BUZZ!!

I was reading VelveteenMind's Cre8Buzz Article on Widgets Increasing Traffic and decided that would be my 2nd Digg article from Cre8Buzz.

I clicked on the DiggIt button on her article. I had not been signed in to Digg so I came to the Login Page:

Login In To Digg

After I logged in, Digg had to check through its website for a possible duplicate submission so I waited a few seconds on this screen:

Digging Thru Process Page

Finally the Submission page where you type in the description or synopsis of the article came up and I had to write a summary of what the article was about:

Submitting Article to Digg

After I wrote a description, I scrolled down to categorize the article. Since I felt Education most applied because it was on Widgets and how they help increase traffic, this was information I didn't know and had just learned.

Choose A Topic On Digg

More scrolling, I came to the Preview section, where I got to see a snapshot of how my Digg submission would look with the summary and title in place.

Next was the Captcha to make sure I was human:

Preview and Captcha

Finally, I could press submit and with a few more seconds of processing, Digg checked for duplicate content and gave me a wait page:

Digg Duplicate Checking Wait Page

Now on the last legs, Digg pulled up a page of various previous submissions they felt I should check. Fortunately, my submission was new and I could scroll down to the button that said, "Totally Original, I Swear!"

Not A Duplicate On DiggConfirm Original Digg Submission

Success! I get a confirmation page that my Digg Submission is processed.

Now you all can Digg a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and more time!!

Digg Submission Approved
