Hi,
I'm working on the following site:
http://www.fragrancecollection.com/
When I submit the site to Digg; odd characters show up in the description field. I tried forcing the character encoding to UTF-8 (which the document is saved as) via meta tags; but that did nothing. I tried replacing complex characters with simpler literals (such as (TM) and (R); that helped but I still couldn't use an ampersand (tried both & and &).
I have 2 questions.
1.) Is there documentation somewhere where I can get specifications on how to format content for proper submission to Digg? Frequent Googling has turned up nothing so far.
2.) Is it possible to specify a meta description for Digg.com; via a digg specific meta tag like or by a user agent sniffing (useragent.contains("digg-crawler") == true)?
Any assistance on this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, - Frank
