GreaseMonkey script to add Digg-like links to posts
Posted by Shane O'Sullivan on 22 May, 2007
I decided today that I wanted to put links at the bottom of each of my blog posts that would allow people to perform actions on the post, e.g:
- Digg it
- Kick it
- Mail it
- Bookmark it on del.icio.us
- Bookmark it on reddit.com
- Bookmark it on live.com
My blog is on WordPress.com which doesn’t seem to have a plugin that will allow me to do this. So, I got off my ass and wrote a GreaseMonkey Firefox script that’ll do it for me. You can download this script by going to http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/9421 and clicking the “Install This Script” button.
The links that are inserted are at the bottom of this post. The script is open source (GPL license), so take it, play with it, whatever. If you find any bugs, please let me know by commenting on this post.

Hi Shane,
Found your scripts at .org. Does it also work on a WordPress blog hosted at their end? Just install it but can’t see the links?
Any light

Yes, it does work with the blog hosted at WordPress.com, which is what I’ve been testing it on. Is that the site you’re using? It adds the links to the blog post when you publish the post, not before. If you are having issues with it, can you give me more info on your setup?
Version of Firefox
Version of Greasemonkey
Also, make sure that Greasemonkey is enabled.

I installed the script and clicked on ‘Publish’. Nothing happened.

Hi, I also installed it now, but nothing happened in the new post window, nor in the published post. Thanks in advance!

Oh, by the way, I use Firefox 2.0.0.6 and the last version of greasemonkey

Oops, I am sorry! I thought the result of the script would show while you are writing the post. But the links show just after you publish the post! Sorry about that!
