Technorati Tags in Blogger Posts

Technorati, which indexes millions of weblogs, allows blog owners to assign "technorati tags" to their posts.

These "technorati tags" are essentially words which describe the category that their posts, photos and videos fall under. Visitors can then search these tags to find the relevant blog posts. How can the Technorati tags be inserted into Blogger posts so that they can be indexed by Technorati?

Is there a need to include Technorati tags in the first place?

There is a Blog Finder function in Technorati which searches for blogs within general topics of interest. When you first register with Technorati, you can assign twenty tags which best describe your blog.

To edit them, login to Technorati and go to Account -> Blogs. Click "Edit Settings" to change the tags and when finished, click "Save Blog Info" at the bottom of the page. Try to fill up all the 20 tag slots and choose keywords that are relevant to the blog contents.

To check if your blogging is properly tagged, copy this URL into the internet browser and insert one of the 20 "technorati tags" into the portion in capitals and your blog should appear in the blog listing - http://www.technorati.com/blogs/TAG.
