The Secret to Getting a WordPress Blog Claimed on Technorati

I tried to get a WordPress blog claimed on Technorati and it failed.

One fix suggestion was to remove the trailing slash from the feed and the blog URL. That did not work.

The next suggestion I tried was making the feeds full text instead of summary. That did not work.

Technorati says in its instructions to add the claim code to an existing post and the crawler will find it. Therein lies the problem.

I added the claim code to an existing article. The article updated but not the feed. I ended up writing a text post with the claim code on a separate line. I made sure I could see the code in the feed, the I claimed it. Successfully, I might add.

BTW, my feed goes to Feedburner which should not make a difference.
