Now you just need to break away from .com to .org, though the lack of 301 redirects is a major problem.

I found this article by accident on a Google search and had to leave a post, just in case you come back from time to time to check on your old stomping grounds.
I love this post, as I was thinking maybe it was just me with Technorati … redheads tend to believe we are the bastard step-children of the world anyway. And here you are posting what I have found! I just assumed I wasn’t technonerd enough to figure out wha da feck Technorati is suppose to really do for my blog.
Here’s a flash, as a writer I want to write and create in the hopes I will be discovered as the next Erma Bombeck. I just don’t think Technorati will be able to deliver on this request.
All my best,
Catherine, the redhead

Congrats and good luck!

@judyb12: I love the button! I’ve popped it up on my sidebar, so that when my blog goes wonky, I’ll remember where to go for advice.

Well said! Technorati has always been a bit of a challenge for me — it’ll claim one blog, but not another — never mind the customer disservice that they provide.

I’m not tossing the Big T to the side, but I am basically doing my best to ignore it and concentrate on simply blogging better.
