The strange codes of Technorati

So! Did you see the "Etsy Success" email about blogging? This is what I found in that email:

• melsdolls says: The first thing any new blogger should do is claim their blog on Technorati. Technorati is the largest directory for blogs, and having a presence there is essential to your blog's success. http://pinkcrabcreations.blogspot.com/

Now as much as I bristle when I hear "you should" or "you HAVE to", I thought... gee... I'm only messing with 2 shops on Etsy, 2 Twitter accounts, a Facebook account - AND a "work outside the house" job - I mean why NOT log into something else?!?!? (Sarcastic? Me???? *gasp*)
SO... I did it. Part of the process is that they give you this code - a series of numbers and letters and you're supposed to put it in a blog post. Then I guess their code-seeking robots find the code in your blog and you become a real boy. No.. wait... that's Pinocchio. You become a registered blogger on Technorati. If you were here earlier and saw the code and decided that I'd lost my mind... there's your explanation.

Have you registered yet???? When (or if) you do, please let me know and I'll go find you there and mark you as a favorite (of course).

You can find Michael and I on Technorati as ThunderMoon. OR you can click the button on this blog and off you go, or as an OLD friend used to say... "Bob's your uncle." Now really! What does that mean????? Bob's your uncle. Looks like another research project - what's the history of that one? Where did it come from?

ANYWAY... Let me know what you think about this Technorati stuff. What do you know about Technorati???

(I'm off to go tell Michael he's on Technorati. Won't he be delighted???)
