- Login to your wordpress blog (e.g. http://www.techwhiz.in/wp-admin/index.php) with administrator rights
- Goto ‘Editor’ from ‘Appearance’ menu in the left side-bar
- Click on ‘single.php’ from the list in right side-bar to open the file
- Locate the place where you wish to display the digg button (generally it is displayed after the title or after the tags in a post, i.e. search for ‘the_title’ or ‘the_tags’)
- Copy and paste the following codes at your selected location and save the file
