Claiming Your WordPress Blog on Technocrati

Attach your Technocrati Profile to Your Blog

Technocrati used to have a link that embedded a particular code.  These days they ask you to put a claim code, like this J5VQXYV57DWC, in a blog post after you request the initial claim.  Claiming the blog is a fairly easy process where you tell Technocrati a bit about your blog like it’s feed url and what the blog is about and I strongly suggest you consider it for your own blog.

After you’ve submitted your blog info you’ll get an email telling you how to get the Technocrati code.  Once you’ve embedded this code into a blog post you’ll return to your Technocrati account page and go into the Claim Blog section once more.  In there you’ll see a button asking you to verify your Technocrati claim and you just click that.  Shortly afterwards you should receive an email telling you that Technocrati successfully found the code on your blog and then it’ll go into a queue for verification.

And that is pretty much it!  And if you suspect I’m doing this process right now you would be correct.  Rather than just having a cryptic code on my blog I thought I’d explain a bit about the process.
