Yes yes I’m slow I know, but I’ve finally got my blog tagged on technorati.com! Yay!

This website uses a platform called FinalFabric, from BlueShift Innovations Inc., and I wrote my own blogging tool to hook into the system. Rather than using those excellent pre-made solutions (like Wordpress and others), I wrote my own because I really wanted to learn how blogs and tagging really worked.

I’ve had the tagging code posted for a few weeks now, but I messed up in placing the tags ( < a href=”http://technorati.com/tag/blah” > blah < /a > ) outside of the < div > < /div > that contains my blog story. Hence, technorati’s indexing systems were probably thinking “the guy who built this website is a dork, so lets ignore him and not tag it….”. As a result, my blogs weren’t getting tagged. I took a closer look at how other website’s were placing their tags, specifically Mack Male’s website Thanks Mack!

Anyways, now that my blog is tagged I hope to see more traffic on this website!
