It is important to have a good profile that reflects who you really are. Choose an avatar that you want to represent you when people see your submissions on the front page. Then, make sure to add links to places where other users can find you and include some contacts as well. Many Digg users connect off the site, so feel free to add your Twitter account, IM names, your blog, and a brief description of who you are and why you’re here.

Now that you’re all set up, it’s time to make some friends. In addition to reading, digging, and commenting, Digg allows its users to add friends and share their favorite submissions. You can often find submissions you’d be interested in by checking out the things your friends are voting on.
