Since I have recently started to blog, I have tasked myself to learn how to promote my blog. Today I spent some time to learn about Technorati, mainly tagging. Technorati indexes the “live web” and makes it easier to find information on the topics posted by the authors you care about.
I was first presented with the concept of tagging through Flickr. A tag is basically a simple category name. Basically, if I write a post on nuclear testing and how it affects Utah, I could assign the tags of Utah and nuclear testing. Then when somebody wants to know more about Utah, they could find all of the sites that have Utah tagged in them.
If you need more information on how tagging works, there is a lot of information out there.
So how can I add a specific tag to this post. Technorati has a helpful page to show us how. I plan on doing it manually until I find a good wordpress plugin to do it for me. Does anybody have any recommendations?
