Stylize Your Digg Count

A PHP Example
Over at http://purrl.net I didn’t just want to display the digg count for a few links like in the examples above - I wanted to display it for up to 200 links on one page. If this is the case for you, you will need to store the digg count, most usefully in a database. Personally, I set up a database table for my link info. Two of the fields assocated with the link were “digg_count” and “digg_story_id”. I then periodically query the digg API to update the count.
