Upgrading My Blog

Thanks to Kai (The Buzz Queen) I'm sure learning a lot this last while, and my blog is becoming all the better for it. This evening I have been doing a bunch of reading. In an email, Kai directed me to her post regarding removal of nofollow from her blog. I followed Kai's link to BetaBlogger 4 Dummies, a site that gives directions on how to do this and made the appropriate changes in the HTML of my template. The hardest part was finding the text that needed to be changes.

I Was Born2Cree8 is now a
"NoFollow" Free Zone

See "Comment Policy" in sidebar.

The next thing in the email was "Have you claimed your blog on technorati?" My first response... "HUH? TechnoWHO?", or something like that :o) So I've been doing research, trying to figure out what the heck she means.

I have now registered an account with Technorati and am currently in the process of "claiming my blog". Part of this is posting a code to my blog. I don't have to leave it here, it can be removed once the Technorati spiders read it. I figure I may as well make it a post that will stay, and might help (inform) my fellow bloggers, just in case they are interested. I've never heard of this before and still wouldn't have a clue if Kai hadn't been good enough to share this with me... so I'm "passing it forward".

This isn't for the average blogger, just for those trying to make some $money$ with their blogs. (See EDIT below for new thought on this)

Technorati Profile

EDIT: June 24. "Thanks" to Kai for giving me some wonderful new thoughts on subject. Here is what she said: "Techonorati is also good for the average blogger - that was you can always see who's linking to you and what they had to say! Especially great when you've been tagged with a meme!"
