I did have that in the body of the blog post, but it still didn't pick it up until I pinged it manually. I still think I have something set up incorrectly. I'll figure it out before the Challenge is over. Thanks for your continued support. Thanks. I did have that in the body of the blog post, but it still didn’t pick it up until I pinged it manually.

Technorati seems to be having problems picking up your posts otherwise. You could, as an example, add the following to the bottom of your post: And if you are part of The Comment Challenge remember to add the " comment08 " tag to your post.

I don’t know if you already tried the following advice from the wiki.

If you are using Blogger and Typepad, please add the tag term “Comment08″ into a sentence in your post, better yet make it a link comment08- this links you to “http://technorati.com/tag/comment08″. Technorati seems to be having problems picking up your posts otherwise. You could, as an example, add the following to the bottom of your post:
And if you are part of The Comment Challenge remember to add the ” comment08 ” tag to your post. Check how it has been added to this post.

I'm still working on it and I'll manually ping for now. I also noticed that in Technorati, my search was set to find comment08 for blogs with <b>some authority. I changed it to <b>any</b>authority and it gave me many more results. Thanks for all your efforts on the Comment Challenge. Silvia:

I went to the blog of the plugin's author to ask why it was necessary (thus fulfilling the goals of today's challenge activity), so we'll see what he has to say.

I am still trying to figure the relationship between these tags and all the different blogging platforms out. What version of WP are you using? @Greg

If you look at the Technorati page for the comment08 tag, you'll see posts from Open Stacks, but I've installed no such plugin. If you just use the tags field in the post form itself, Technorati picks that up. I don't think I've done anything else fancy, except to make sure that my site is set to tell pingomatic about new posts, but this is the default setting anyway.

I have followed all this but although it appears to be installed there is something wrong since when I click the Technorati Tagging tab in settings I get "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: is_plugin_page() in...". Do you think this could be an error in the way I set it up, or a problem with WordPress 2.51 to which I have just upgraded? (Sorry, I realise this is not a tech support forum!- just wondered if there were any words of wisdom before I look further) Thanks for the very useful post.
