The whole point is to take what is already here and project it out into the mainstream.

Then why did you instruct everyone to stop posting articles here, instead, posting them on Digg.com, and then only having a link to the Digg.com reference in our thread?

From your initial post:

“DO NOT PROVIDE LINKS TO NON DIGG ARTICLES AND VIDEOS. IF YOU WANT YOUR ARICLE OR VIDEO TO BE CONSIDERED, PUT IT ON DIGG FIRST AND THEN PROVIDE THE LINK.”

I don't think you understand what you are saying.

Articles don’t get posted to digg.com...links are...if people click on the story, they’ll come back to FR for the original article.

He didn't instruct anyone to stop posting at FR.

Post an article at FR
Post a link to the article at Digg
Digg up the link to FR

It's entirely uncomplicated.

Or you don’t understand what he is saying.

There will be a daily DIGG thread on FR whereby Freepers can link the articles they have posted on DIGG so that Freepers can go help push them to the top thereby getting more conservative exposure.

The link part is referring to don’t post links to unposted DIGG articles on the daily DIGG thread. Only post URLs/links to DIGG posted articles so that one can go directly to them.

That’s my understanding.......

It is supposed to be an FR post with 5 video and 5 article Digg links. The point is to send FReepers over to FReeper-selected Digg links and vote for them by hitting the Digg button, thus Digging them to the top so more and more people will be exposed to what we read or view here everyday.

Example:

You post an FR link over at Digg, which means the FR link becomes a Digg link. However when the reader/viewer clicks the Digg link, it take them to wherever the article/video is. If it’s an FR link, then the Digg link will take the reader/viewer right to FR. Conversely, you would not use the FR link on FR, it’s already here. You would use the Digg link so that FReepers will be taken to Digg, and thus Digg (vote) the link to the top over there so that more and more Diggers see it, click on it, thus taking them back here.

If you still don’t understand what I’m talking about, try another FReeper who is familiar with Digg. Maybe they can explain it in a way you can understand.
