mta_digg_it
This plug-in implements a single tag (mta_digg_it) which will embed a smart, JavaScript “Digg This” button (with submit capability) in your article. The first time someone clicks on the “Digg This” button, they’ll be brought to digg.com’s link submission page with most of the information about the link already filled out (you can provide more or less information using various attributes). Any subsequent clicks will be brought to digg.com to “digg” the article.
Syntax
The mta_digg_it tag has the following syntactic structure:
<txp:mta_digg_it />
Attributes
The mta_digg_it tag will accept the following attributes (note: attributes are case sensitive):

‘icon’ is a 16×16 pixel “Digg It” button will be used which “also will provide the current digg count of the story when the cursor hovers over it.”
