I would definitely try and help out with voting for articles posted from FR so that more people would see them, so hopefully anyone who does that will give instructions on how to help (at least until us "old" guys catch on).
Well, as for helping out....one way (and it may be what they are suggesting here)...As you move around the Net...when you find interesting articles (especially ob blogs) many will have the DIGG THIS button on the page the article is on...
A sort of auto-submit to Digg to draw attention to it. If others like the article too, they also...”digg” the article...
Can you dig it?
LOL
You may even encounter someone paying a compliment when another has found and shared a good article saying, “Nice digg”...
The more diggs an article gets, the more prominently it’s displayed on the site and on search engines...
One could say to Freep something and to Digg something are one and the same thing...
So we want to get active Freeping (Digging) article on Digg because of the mixed crowd over there...:)
