Rats, I spoke too soon. Upon closer inspection it appears that my technorati troubles are still not solved.

WordPress 2.1 solved my Technorati troubles

Technorati Updated
Hooray! It looks like the upgrade to WordPress 2.1 and use of the static front page has solved my technorati problems.

WordPress 2.1 Alpha — Life on the edge

Seeing WordPress 2.1 is nearing beta, I decided to upgrade ecrosstexas today. I figured why continue to tweak the site with an outdated version.

Static Front Page

Static Front Page

My favorite feature allows you to control the “front page” of your site. Glad to see this is finally baked into the core. I am using this to serve the Howdy Y’all notice at http://ecrosstexas.com and the texas blog at http://ecrosstexas.com/blog.

I wonder if this will help at all with my technorati issue?

Technorati Troubles

It appears that my choice to display my most recent entry from “the texas blog” is causing massive problems. Technorati seems to think that my home page (compared to this the texas blog) is its own blog and now most searches in technorati reference the wrong site!

Is there any way to correct this data in Technorati? Any advice?

[Update 1:45pm, still wrong after home page change]

To clarify,

my home page is at http://ecrosstexas.com and
my blog the texas blog resides at http://ecrosstexas.com/blog.

I just don’t understand.

Technorati API

David Sifry released an API to connect to Technorati’s weblog index and search engine a few weeks ago. Kalsey immediately built an MT plugin for it. Looks like a useful addition to the weblog community.
