Everyone needs to go have a look at their Technorati accounts today and make sure that their posts are getting indexed properly.  Because of some flaws and coding errors, and down right hacking by theme designers your Blog may be at risk.  Not only is Technorati not indexing, it can very well lead to your sight as being mark for spam on Yahoo and Google.

To see if you possibly aren’t being indexed or the spiders are just taking their sweet ass time getting to you try manually pinging  your account by entering a post specific url into the form at http://www.technorati.com/ping/  Give it an hour or so to get around to you and see if you get your pages added in, before bitching at tech support.  Also remember if you are using FireFox as a browser you should hit control f5 to reload the page and bypass the cache file when you are checking these accounts.
