Just one of those odd things.

It's pingable, but traceroute fizzles out.

My blog isn't very "bloggish" in that the chronology is almost completely unimportant, so at one point I had a static front page up since I thought it'd be more appropriate, and yeah-- there was no recognition on the Technorati end that any posts were happening. Pretty frustrating, as I had also assumed they would just draw from RSS. Later, I ended up switching back to the posts-on-front-page approach (for other reasons). It's been easier to pretty much just tune out Technorati.

Does this mean that all those bloggers, who are assigning a front page to their blogs as a "welcome" or "introduction" page are in essence shooting themselves in the foot Technorati-wise?

Of course, RSS probably wasn't as ubiquitous then as now. Hindsight is 20-20.

I wonder if they were thinking that since the posts were in what basically is a subdirectory, that thte blog was in one as well.

But it was the same "oh, you've moved your blog url!@#" snafu as when you changed your domain name.

I had no idea that Technorati works by spidering the front page of your blog url. I always thought it would use RSS or something. So by putting MORE links on posts you hide the rest of it from Technorati.

I agree. Rather annoying...

No follow up from Technorati on either thread.
