Yeah, I’m sure you are right. The site is very buggy in general. I hope they get the finder sorted out soon, because it has the potential to be quite useful.

I think they are fiddling. When I first claimed my blog, it stopped showing up under tags– but showed up in blogs. I could tell the ‘bot was crawling the site, and my RSS feed was still there. I emailed… no answer. But, the problem cured itself and now I show up under both.

I think it’s all going to resolve itself. Obviously though, they need to somehow figure out whether the links at a knitting site *come from* knitting sites. Otherwise, a political site that blogged once about knitting could end up “authoritative” on knitting. That would make their resource useless!

Thank you for the trackback. You know what’s wacky? My blog now doesn’t show up in the blog finder at all. Now, I don’t fancy my blog to be of any importance in the grand scheme of things, but it is an oddly timed coincidence.
