		<description>Hi mate.. I&#039;ve been trying to submit my blog www.twistedstudio.com and I just can&#039;t claim it, even with the link on the front page... the most stupid thing is, that in the beggining of my blog installation, I had the script installed on /blog instead of the main root, and it claimed with no problems...</description>

		<description>I have 6 blogs that I tried to claim through tech-no-rotty and after a few hours I only got 2 to claim.  The others just hang and hang with no messages or errors.

The problem is that I don;t even know how I got those 2 to work.  Here are the things that I tried.

1. Went to the bottom of technorati&#039;s page and clicked &quot;ping us&quot;, then entered my sites.  At least this let&#039;s the bot know I want in.

2. Searched technorati for my sites, then clicked on everything I could click, even though they haven&#039;t been claimed.  This would maybe create a link/backlink connection.

3. Created a link in my blogroll to technorati, then clicked on that crap for 30 minutes.

Although these may work, I have no proof.  The others still won&#039;t claim as of today.

I&#039;m not even gonna bother sending a support request, since all the other people say it&#039;s useless.  Obviously, they are a bunch of monkeys who focus their time on counting their lame google ad revenue. w0rd.</description>

		<description>Hello Sunny!
Yeah, it turns out, you have to use the &quot;post&quot; method - where you put a link to them somewhere on your blog.  What they DONT mention is that post or page with that link has to be on the front page of your blog website.  I made a hidden link on the first page you see when going to funkytower.com and it finally claimed.

So, make a meta tag or create some sort of invisible link, (unless you don&#039;t mind your front page showing a link to technorati) and then try to claim your blog.  It should work then (but I make no guarantees =] )

I hope this helps you!
