Technorati is a great platform for technology- based blogs and we have already added both of our product blogs - this one and the Nozbe GTD blog - to Technorati using standard HitRSS features.
Step 1 - Go to Technorati.com and sign up for a free account, and after you've done that, click on the link: "Claim your blog"
Step 2 - Put your HitRSS-powered blog link. As you very well know - your blog link cosists of two parts:
General HitRSS blog URL (http://blogs.hitrss.com/) + your HitRSS user name (this blog: hitrss)
Step 3 - Choose your claim method - the easiest one is the "Post Claim" method, which means that you will add a new post (in HitRSS: "new feed item") so that Technorati can recognize the blog is yours.
Technorati will give you exact instructions as to how the Post Claim method works:
So before you proceed in Technorati, open a new browser window and log in to your HitRSS account and click on the link "Add feed items" and later on the button "Add new feed item", in the News feed editor just click on the button "Source" and paste the code Technorati gave you above:
After you've added the code, just click on the button "Submit the News" to save it.
Step 4 - Go back to Technorati window and click on the button "Release the spiders" and Technorati will visit your blog and recognize it's yours thanks to the code you pasted above. Once it's done that, you will see the confirmation screen:
You can add your blog description now and define your blog's language and add tags. Take your time and fill in this information so that your future readers would know what your blog is all about.
Step 5 - You're almost done. Now that Technorati knows the blog is yours, go back to the browser window with your HitRSS account open and remove the feed item with the Technorati code:
Just select the news item and click on the "Remove" button on the top-right side of the list.
Congratulations! You have added your blog to Technorati!
If you go back to the Technorati browser window you will see this confirmation message:
Hope this Tutorial was useful for you. Using this simple method we've been adding our blogs to Technorati very successfully.
