Technorati Tags

Gerard gave me a hint about the technorati tags: put them in your RSS feed

problem here: I do not use the MTEntryBody tag but the MTEntryExcerpt tag. the Body tag includes images etc, and I have Mod_Rewrite in use causing images not to popup in feeds. Therefore the Excerpt.

one thing I did was to extend th Excerpt with more words. Than check upon the Technorati Tag

Checking my feed (tip Gerard) I hardly could find or understand how to implement it. The technorati idea is not my idea as I do not want only technorati tags to be related to my categories.

Than I found the weblog of Yezbick and an entry about MT and Technorati. He just added the technorati tag (plugin) into his feeds. How simple.

Probably now all my pings and tags will be accepted by Technorati

Technorati Tags

Wierd behaviour Technorati: pings being processed only after hours, pings totally not processed resulting in: tags not working or not added.

Wierd behaviour of Technorati. Someone an idea why?

blogs as tool for promoting films

I had not seen this but the company: LionsGate films shot the movie The House of D with Good Morning Vietnam star: Robbin Williams and Celebrity David Duchovny. As Director of this film David created at the LionsGate directors page a: Weblog, VideoCast en Podcast site
WOW .. that’s to attract your fans and audience .. a good tool to promote ‘the film’

Ron Moore is doing the same (including podcasts) for the new series of BattleStar Galactica but as they are shooting season 2 now the blog is not updated for 1 month almost.
