I've been working on a "digg clone" using Drupal 6 and drigg. I've done a little modification to make it as Digg-like as I could, and I'm adding new functions and styles. I've still got a lot to work on, but I would like feed back on the overall progress.

My goal is to make a digg site for my fellow EMS workers to enjoy. Since those in the medical field have a unique range of interests, I thought it would be interesting to see what would show up on the site.

Please visit www.tachycardic.com and let me know what you think. I'm not a programmer or a designer, and everything I do as far as websites is self taught.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've made the story content flow more smoothly and removed underlines from links in stories.

Its great site design.
I have tried to use drigg for drupal 6.9. I was not able to use it. Which version of drigg you are using?
Could you be able to help me in creating a drigg based site?
Thanks

I'm using drigg 6.x-1.x-dev. I could help you if you run into trouble. My schedule is pretty full so forgive me if there is a delay between responses.

Hi Jacobw,
Thanks for your response. Ok...i will try drigg 6.x-1.x-dev now and ask you if get into any trouble. It would be ok for me to wait according to your busy schedule.
Thanks once again!!

Hello Jacobw,
I would like to ask how did you manage to show images (screenshots) of the websites as thumbnails along with your posts. Actually, i want that while submitting a story, when the user submits the url of the article, there is an option to get the screenshot captured (as thumbnail) by clicking a button provided and saved in the database. This captured screenshot will then be used to display the thumbnails along with the post.
Thanks for any help in this matter.
