How would one go about displaying "popular" entries like Digg does on their front page? I would think the easiest way would be to query the entries with the most "votes" within a time period (say 24hrs), but there is definitely more to this than just that. Any ideas?

I guess it would depend on what you thought of as popular--Whether it be the number of votes, the rating from those votes, or how many people actually viewed that specific content, or a combination of the these and more. Once you figure that out, a simple query correctly executed should give you the results you want, that is, if the data is stored correctly too ;) Good luck!
