What is
technorati.com? According to
Wikipedia it is a massive search engine for searching blogs. Okay, that doesn't sound exciting, but
apparently getting ones blog registered with technorati is a very good idea. The first I heard about all this was at the last
Surrey International Writers' Conference. I took a workshop conducted by none other than Vancouver's own
miss604.com! (Yes, my notes will be posted shortly!)
If you'd like to register your blog with technorati, here's what you do:

- What is Technorati all about?
A few minutes ago I took the first few steps to registering my blog with Technorati and I got my code, VSWRUMW5B2JK, so in publishing this post I will have (hopefully!) finished my registration. Yea!
I wonder, has anyone else heard about Technorati? Has anyone else registered their blog? I'm curious, because the workshop at SiWC 2011 was the first I heard of it, but it seems like a great service.
Update:
I'm Listed on Technorati.com!
