I don't have enough information to answer your question...

• What are you trying to acheive?
  
• What did you do to acheive that aim? Please be as specific as possible, explain the steps you took, the code you added, etc.
  
• What happened instead?

If you can try to answer those questions when asking your support questions, it would help us to help you.

Sorry John. I followed the instructions on this site.

i cut/paste the code into the article template. if you open any permalink on my blog, you can see the submit to links - except for delicious which is showing the icon and working aas expected, the links to Digg and Slashdot simply show the entire article name string from the code instead of the icon.

for instance, on this page see the line below the post title.

links to Digg and Slashdot simply show the entire article name string from the code instead of the icon.

That's because the code you used references images on your site which don't exist. If you use this code:

<img src="/images/digg.gif" alt="submit {{title}} to digg.com">Digg</a>

then there needs to be an image on your blog at the URL

http://sastwingees.blogharbor.com/images/digg.gif

but there is not, so the browser is showing your "ALT" or ALTernative text instead. Upload all the images referenced in your code to your File Manager and this might work for you.

thanks john. i will try that.

i tried this and it did not work. i do have the images uploaded in my images directory in file manager. i didnt upload the slashdot img yet, but why doesnt it work for digg?

[john]

Because your HTML code says you would have an image at

http://sastwingees.blogharbor.com/images/digg.gif

but you do not have an image there. You do have an image at:

http://sastwingees.blogharbor.com/images/digman.gif

That is why...
