Run your own Digg like site using Pligg

Pligg is a PHP/MySQL script that you install on your web site to run a Digg like social bookmarking/voting system.

Beta 9.0 was released on Dec 19th with lot of exciting new features:

Demo site.

I wrote a step-by-step tutorial on how to install and run Pligg Beta 9.0 on your own web site. Check it out if you are interested:

Pligg Installation Tutorial.

Feel free to ask any questions if things are unclear.

 

Your demo site is really sweet.

 

It isn't mine. It is the official Pligg demo site. A fresh install of Pligg would look (almost) like this.

 

thanks, i will try it.

 

now everyone will have his own Digg

and we will see much Digg alike sites in BST section soon

 

Thanks for the great tutorial
i tried once myself but dont get it but now you clear it all

 

I already know it but thanks for the thread!
Now everyone will get a DIGG just like everyone owns a blog

 

yea pligg is good script i have also used it for my site.

 

whats pligg like for SEO is it as good as wordpress?

 

Hi

Took a look at your demo site as well as the pligg one - for some reason, your demo has the footer graphic running through the middle of the page?

I thought it might be a browser bug, but the Pligg demo page shows up properly.

Regards

 

newrhodes, Fixed the footer redraw bug. Updated my instructions and added a new step (#5).

 

i dont have a clue what this site is? what does it excatly do???? how would you get it to work??

 

I have already installed pligg here http://www.wrigg.net, you can submit article or news where the title can be directly link to your site.

 

Pligg is a CMS using which you can run a bookmarking/voting kind of site. Registered users can submit stories and others can vote on them.

 

hmm how do u make it like digg?? where it has all them lil buttons??

 

What buttons are you talking about? Pligg isn't a exact replica of Digg. You have to modify it to suit your needs.

 

I’ve known about Pligg for some time now but think it still needs some minor fixes. One of the most annoying is that it takes forever to load. Either than that it has a lot of potential.

 

Emperor, I don't think your statement about loading time applies to all Pligg sites.

Does this site take long time to load?

 

yeah its not the quickest.

 

yes...
