Digg Lite

"Just the news, Ma'am." -- This script removes the giant footer and the right column, giving the link log the maximum possible area.

With their latest design refresh (8/28/2007), Digg has addressed most of the things I set out to fix with this script (yay!). As a result the script does much less than it used to. Here's what's left:

* removes the right column, allowing the stories and comments to take up the full width
* removes the page footer

Edit the "config" block inside the script to customize.

Thanks for the tip, Megatron. I updated the script, but instead of adding that URL to the exclude list I changed the script to explicitly not run the "hide right column" block for those pages. That way the other parts of the script, which are still useful on those pages, get to run as normal.

Great script. The one change I made, is with the latest digg update, I added http://digg.com/users/* to the excluded pages list. The right-side bar on those pages now contains people's friends, links, stats, etc.
