Comments on: Technorati: Can you help? http://dylan.tweney.com/2006/09/01/technorati-can-you-help/ if you're bored, you're not paying attention Tue, 01 Nov 2011 12:41:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Dylanhttp://dylan.tweney.com/2006/09/01/technorati-can-you-help/comment-page-1/#comment-2603 Dylan Thu, 14 Sep 2006 19:44:33 +0000 http://dylan.tweney.com/2006/09/01/technorati-can-you-help/#comment-2603 Update 9/14: It looks like I finally got Technorati to pick up on my posts. I realized finally that although Technorati was marking tinywords as \"recently updated,\" it actually hadn\'t picked up on any particular posts since I stopped using WordPress as my publishing system there.The solution was twofold: I added a <a href=\"http://technorati.com/help/supportfaq.html#bookmark\" rel="nofollow">rel=\"bookmark\"</a> tag to the permalinks on each post, and I added a metatag pointing to the site\'s RSS feed (which has the added bonus of making tinywords into a Live Bookmark in Firefox). Since then, Technorati has been picking up on my posts. Whew! And sometimes, it even recognizes the \"haiku\" tag -- although not reliably.Moral of the story: If you\'re not using a standard blogging platform like WordPress, you\'ve got to work extra hard to help Technorati recognize your posts.
