The web is teaming with blogs. Every day hundreds of thousand of people pour their thoughts on to the keyboards and unleash them on the unsuspecting public. This outpouring of random thoughts has created a huge volume of information and, unfortunately, misinformation on the web.
If you have a blog, a very important concern is "how do you get others to notice your blog in this vast see of information called the blogosphere? Well, if you had a website, you would want to have it listed with a search engine. Blogs are no different. Technorati is one of the more popular search engine specifically addressing the needs of bloggers or rather the needs of the people that want to search blogs. Technorati.com has the process for registering blogs. They call this "claiming a blog". Basically, you give it a url of your blog and then you prove it that the blog is indeed yours. The way you go about proving that the blog indeed belongs to you is simply by making a post that includes a very small piece of html that technorati provides to you. For example, to register this blog I was given this html to include in one of my posts.
Technorati Profile
This link simply places a link to your Technorati Profile in to the post.
It really is all there is to it. Once the Technorati spider notices this html in your blog post, Technorati.com will complete the claim process and your blog will be indexed by its search engine. So, what are you waiting for, go to Technorati.com and claim your blog.
Hint hint: Read some previous posts to know why I am signing up for Technorati ;)
