Technorati to the Rescue (not)
What sent me ROFL hysterically this morning? Only Technorati could make this blog situation worse! Many months before Blogger announced its abandonment of FTP blogs, Technorati reformed itself and old timers lost Fans, Authority, and listings. I had tried for weeks before that to have the listing there (since 2004) link to my blog's new address. No go. When Technorati wiped out most of the blog's data, I gave up and resubmitted it as a new blog, having lost precious Technorati history. See how empty it is? And my Profile?
Now with Yahoo probably closing down MyBlogLog where I have 483 community members, 514 followers, and 45 friends; Google monkeying around with the search algorithm again; and more people subscribing to the RSS directly and by email...I have pretty much decided to draw this blog to a close.
Then I found this in my Outlook Express Inbox today:

Subject: Technorati Claim Complete
From: "Technorati"

Congratulations, your claim is now complete! Please allow 24 to 48 hours for Authority and recent posts to begin showing for your site now that it has been successfully claimed. Once they are there, we will update your site's Authority once per day.
At first you may not see your site listed in the Technorati Blog Directory for all of the categories you've selected. As you write blog posts around those topics, you should see your Topical Authority in those categories begin to rise.

Geo,
I have no idea what all this means, but I think I should be happy for you:)
Does this mean this blog stays???? I sure hope so.
Congratulations on getting 'there'
Elizabeth
I don't know how you've not chewed through your keyboard at this point. This is frustrating to read - I can't imagine going through it!
Geo,
It's taken a moment or two, but I get it. Let's not forget the old: Laughter does good adage.
Elizabeth
Yes, Elizabeth, but it was maniacal, hysterical laughter. Anyway it's been two days, and Technorati's search engine shows nothing about "A Writer's Edge" or my name. Can you say "too little, too late"? They are not going to restore the fan base, anyway, I don't think.
Thanks, Lori. Do you like the new bald look? (Not keyboard chewing -- hair pulling).
Ah, that's your trick! ;)
