I’ve just installed a new plugin for firefox called performancing, which allows me to publish to my blog from an interface within the browser. Theoretically, anyway. I was looking for a tutorial on how to add technorati tags to posts – I’m interested in publicising the blog a little more than I have been doing, for a variety of reasons, which will all become clear in good time 😉 – and I don’t really understand technorati. I’m guessing if I don’t, many of my readers probably don’t either, so I thought learning about it would come in useful.
Well, I haven’t achieved that yet, but I may have a nice new toy – let you know in a minute!
Well, that seems to work fairly well. I now can add technorati tags, as well as del.icio.us bookmarks (no, I haven’t worked out what they are yet either, will get back to you on that).
Technorati Tags: technology, blogging, firefox, tags

C uses (or has used) del.icio.us … other than that – well, “whooosh” 🙂
I’ve read about tagging blogs, but figured mine wasn’t the kind that really required publicising and so didn’t go any further in working it out. If you can make it easy for me to understand/do, somehow, I could be tempted, as it does make sense.
Well, that plugin seems to work alright for the tagging when you are originally writing the post, but doesn’t seem to work if you go back to edit a previous one (ie I tried to launch a previous one to edit it to add tags. Didn’t work, I ended up reposting a new post! Could just be me though, will have another go again).
del.icio.us seems to me to be a slightly different thing, or intended to be a slightly different thing, I’m not sure. Will investigate both further.
del.icio.us is really basically bookmark sharing service. Technorati is really blog classifying service. both though (AIUI) use tags in the same way that flickr does to classify things.
That was me
I remembered you were on about making a loom. I found this: http://woollywormhead.blogspot.com/2005/10/how-to-make-your-own-peg-loom.html
plus I tried to mail you but it went off into the ether again and bounced back!
*looks over head at all the shiny words whizzing past*
Sounds good though.
