I’ve been having some trouble with Technorati not indexing posts on this blog properly, from the tag point of view. Essentially what’s happening is that posts from house of the hanged man are not showing up consistently in the Technorait tag page.

At first I thought that Technorati wasn’t properly indexing my site. But sometimes the posts show up under some tags but not under others. This post is a great example, Here I’ve got the post listed in my category “The ‘Net”, and when I updated the post this morning it showed up in the Technorati tag page fairly quickly:

However, when I look at the page for the other tag, it doesn’t show up at all:

Hmmm.

So then I thought it was on my end; something in one of the WP plug-ins I’m using to tagify my posts, since the 2 plug-ins I primarily use for this purpose were generating different HTML for the tag links. Yesterday, however, I updated the plug-in I suspected might be causing the problem and am still seeing the problem. Here’s the html:

From WP-CaTT, which technorati-tagifies all my categories and provides a link to the TT page (the ones where my posts actually show up):

<a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/the+’net" rel="tag"><img src="http://kinrowan.net/blog/wp/wp-content/plugins/technoratibubble.gif" /></a>

and here’s the new html from the Technorati Tags plug-in, which I thought was wrong:

<a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/Ourmedia" rel="tag">Ourmedia</a>

Looks pretty much the same to me. If any Technorati developers or gurus read this and have any input, I’d be happy to hear it.
