Technorati

So, I finally got around to setting up a Technorati profile.. not sure if it is still useful. I added my blog URL to the site several weeks ago (maybe two months?) and I just received an email today with the claim code to include in a post to verify my claim.

I placed the code in a comment and it didn't like that. So I'll try it this way...
