We are still gathering submissions for our future article on Digg Success (and a few less than success) stories at Show Us Your Big Digg!

As a tangent, we will probably also break down components of this future article to take a look at successful niche diggs for some of the new categories in Digg.com.

Everything from the standard tech items to politics and entertainment and more.  We’re even going to take a look at some of those super niche diggs, like iPods Help Doctors Recognize Heart Problems(356 Diggs!). 

Its an article about how doctors can use iPods to improve their stethoscope skills.  I’m sure iPods are not going to replace stethoscopes anytime soon, but I wouldn’t put it past Steve Jobs to find yet another way to tie his product into someone else products.  Soon, doctor’s might just see that drug rep offer for a ‘free iPod with the purchase of a new littman stethoscope.  We are talking about marketing right, so anything is possible and I’m sure it will be dugg eventually.

So if you have come across a fun or bizarre super niche digg, let us know about those too.  If you have submitted one yourself, please drop a quick link to your actual article and the digg page, we’d love to feature it.

We are terrible at accumulatin the Big Digg, but many of you are experts at getting your articles on the front page of Digg.

Share with us a link to your biggest digg via email or in comments and we will feature your link and the number of diggs you pulled off in a future article.

Please don’t fear leaving your link in a comment as we DoFollow, so you will get a benefit right away and another when the feature article comes out.

Not to mention, your Big Digg will get more press and might get a Bigger Digg all together!

Share this story with other bloggers and lets see who submits the biggest Digg!

Q & A

1. What is a Big Digg?
Its an article that you submitted to Digg.com, that received more Digg votes than any other article that you submitted.

2. Should I include it here if I didn’t write the original article that was my Big Digg?
Yes. The spirit of Digg is to not self promote your own stuff too much, but we only want to see your biggest Digg no matter if you wrote it or Matt Drudge wrote it. If you submitted it and it has more diggs than any other articles you submitted, that’s your Big Digg!

Here is a Low Tech Web Tip for backing up your blog!

Simply establish an email feed subscription service on your blog, such as Feedblitz or Feedburner.  Then subscribe to it with your email account.  Every time you publish an article, you will get an email copy, which you can then file away in a folder in your email management system.

So if you have a blog covering auto accessories, then you can get an email backup of all of your articles that you publish. This also makes it easy for you to create a quick single article news article that you can forward to family and friends when you want to promote an article on say the latest in rims, or tires, stereo system or what have you. Everything is already formatted, you just have to hit send!

Now, I don’t do this on all of my own blogs(probably should) but I subscribe via email to my own blog feeds on several of them. This delivers up an email copy of all my bog articles, which I can use as a last line of defense against crashes.

Google Desktop for Offline Searches of Your Blogs

Its easy to do and you can pretty much just let it run and ignore it. Plus if you run google desktop it gives you another way to do a search of your blog content when you are offline.

Example Steps for Setting up Email Subscription in Feedburner

1. Login to Feedburner (burn a feed if you haven’t already set up your blog inFeedburner - just takes three steps)
2. Go to the Publicize tab and pick Email Subscriptions
3. 
4. In Feedburner you have the choice, of three different services, Feedburners own, Feedblitz or Rmail
5. 
6. Then Activate the option
7. Configure your options and select the html code, which you can then place in your blog template, likely in the sidebar, possibly on its own page.  Note. Feedburner doesn’t support widgets for WordPress yet, but the code is simple enough.
8. 
9. Don’t forget to save your settings.
10. After you add the code to your blog and publish the updates via ftp, you should have a new Email Subscription option
