I have trouble in claiming my blog in technorati.

" Our access is explicitly blocked by your robots.txt file" is the message displayed when I try to claim my blog .........http://3point4.wordpress.com/.

I have already allowed external search engines to access my blog in Settings->Privacy.

Please help me fix this.

Regards
Krshna

The blog I need help with is 3point4.wordpress.com.

Technorati "upgraded" themselves into oblivion about 2 months ago and have been the dog's breakfast since then. There are tens of thousands of previous users that had accounts there for years who's records just simply disappeared and have yet to be recovered. Only 3 of my 9 clients have been recovered and all of them ended up loosing all of their ranking there and are now sitting at a ranking of 1 where they have all been over 200.

Personal opinion: Technorati is a "FAIL" in capital letters.
