Anyway, regardless, I know *I’d* like to have something up and working the way the old page did!

Out of curiosity– can bloggers using Typepad create a list of people to ping *everytime* you publish? (I know you can add for *each* article, but is there a list for everytime? With Wordpress, if someone wanted to ping me constantly, all they need to do is go to the their adminisitration panel, click “Options”, then “Writing”, scroll down and add me to their list of sites to auto-ping. I have “ping-o-matic” and “Technorati” on my ‘ping every time’ list.”)

I know Movable Type has a ping box– and theirs is actually better. It can be adjusted to only ping for certain categories.

I’ll email the ceo!

Here’s what I did: I looked up the *manual* tag they suggest inserting. I added that to the footer of my blog article– look down with all the rings stuff. So, basically, I’m showing Technorati the tag two ways– 1) by using Wordpress tags and 2) by runningthe manual tag in the footer.

We’ll see if the “notice” my next article!

It seems to work better than google’s blog finder.
Google also seems to look for the word “knitting” but also to do some sort of weird ranking thing, so many of the smaller blogs don’t show. Some older blogs show for days and days, newer blogs never show. (And frankly, I find many, many of the newer blogs are just more interesting. They show more KNITTING, which is what I mostly want to see.)
