I have tried to get Technorati to find my posts, but I keep failing. The help file reads:
If your blog software supports categories and RSS/Atom feeds (like Movable Type, WordPress, TypePad, Blogware, Radio), just use the included category system and make sure you are publishing RSS/Atom feeds and your categories will be read as tags.
I use WordPress and I use the category system, but if you search for CIL2006 you don’t find my CIL posts - so I added tags to the posts and you still don’t find them. What am I doing wrong? I’d like to get this sorted out before the conference.

I took me a while to figure this out too. I use the SimpleTags plugin. http://www.broobles.com/scripts/simpletags/. Once you get that up, you can just put tags in between and they’ll show up in technorati.
oops it parsed my HTML. I meant “between [tags][/tags]“!
THANK YOU!! I’ll give that a go.
[...] Okay, yesterday I asked about tags. Today I want to ask about pings and the blog finder. [...]
