See the "domain" argument:

http://apidoc.digg.com/ListStories#Arguments

In general, the List Stories endpoints implicitly have limited time frames:

http://apidoc.digg.com/BasicConcepts#ImplicitTimePeriods

But List Stories is exempt from implicit time periods when the
"domain" argument is used. You can see that in the documentation of
the min/max date arguments:

http://apidoc.digg.com/ListStories#Arguments

"min_submit_date, max_submit_date ... Defaults: ... All time, in the
following cases: ... If a domain is specified."

Here's the API request URL for the domain you mentioned:

http://services.digg.com/stories?domain=doitmyway.net&appkey=http%3A%2F%2Fapidoc.digg.com

Note that the total in the API response agrees with the search
results you mentioned:

<stories timestamp="1248882483" total="42" offset="0" count="10">

Note also that the <stories> element does NOT have min/max date
attributes. That's how the API lets you know that no implicit time
period was applied.

Does that make sense?
