Tecchnorati: Organise Blogs Posts With Tags Into Sidebar!

This is for all bloggers from all domains having technorati account!

One problem old blogger felt that there was no way to categorize post according to tag! Mostly after each post we used to add technorati tags! Then came blogger in beta with this option right into blogger itself! Still instead of tagging all the posts again, you can use technorati API’s to take care of this! (For live example scroll down to see "TOP 10 TAGS" in this blogs sidebar itself!)

Don’t worry if you don’t know how to use technorati API’s (Even I don’t know 😉 ! Vijay Bhaskar already done some great work regarding this! So just listing here what you need to do!

1. Copy Following javascript code!

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://myjavaserver.com/~tomorrowist/generateTags.jsp?userName=<YourTechnoratiUsername>&url=<Your BlogURL>&limit=<NumberofTags>"></script>

2. Now Replace Following Fields:

• <Your Technorati Username>
• <Your Blog URL>
• <Number of Tags>

After Modifying your code will look like…

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://myjavaserver.com/%7Etomorrowist/generateTags.jsp?userName=rahul286&url=http://www.devilsworkshop.org&limit=10"></script>

Just Paste modified code into your blog! That’s it!

Notes:

1. You must have Technorati Account For this!
2. You must have tagged your posts beforehand!
3. Number of Tags can be set to 100 at the max!

I have switched already to blogger in beta! Still I like technorati tags over blogger’s label because when somebody clicks on technorati tags, it shows partial content of all the post tagged under that particular tag, while blogger shows full posts!
I feel technorati’s way is better as some of tags have large no. of posts tagged under them which make loading of those pages time-consuming!
