One of my more popular posts is regarding a bookmarklet by Oddiophile that will create the html template for any number of space-separated Technorati tags.
For quite a while now the Oddiophile blog has been offline, and after quite an exhaustive search on the web I cannot find a bookmarklet that offers similar functionality.
As I use it all the time for my posts (as you can tell from the bottom line of every post) I have a local copy. I'm going to put it up for distribution, if anyone has any issues with this duplication please get in touch with me by commenting on this blog post and I'll take it down (if you have a damn good reason why the blogosphere shouldn't benefit from this rather fab tool!) :)
Ok, here you go...

I suppose you could place them on any webpage, but they really only come into their own once you also 'ping' Technorati to let them know that you have a new page with some tags on it.
They then spider your page and update their system with the tags that you have mentioned.
I'm not sure if you can ask Technorati to spider a non-blog page for tags.
They are still useful if you want to point your readers to some other categories that they might be interested it.
I was gonna start adding tags from next week in a very manual (HTML Links) way after checking someone else's blog.
This is a total life saver. Thanks man.
Here >:D< have a Cyber hug.
You have to do this sort of thing if you want multi-word tags on del.icio.us as well.
Anyway, great help for those seeking folksnomy redemption though.
I'm told Wordpress does not allow javascript?
That's why we cant put google adsense on our Wordpress blogs???
no javascript allowed
soooo, how do I get this to work?
Salud y paz.
You need to perform a 'ping' to let them know to re-index your page.
You can go to Technorati direct: http://www.technorati.com/ping
But I use Pingoat as they ping a lot of the blog search engines as well:

Hope this get's your pages indexed!

Thanks for this making this very cool tool available, and for all your help in using it. I would like to use technorati tags on our company press releases posted on our website (vs. a blog post). Is this appropriate, and if so, do I then add the url of the press release to technorati's ping page?
Thanks for your help!
Cheers,
Susan
I see no reason to not have a small section at the bottom of the press release which has the tags that you would like your press release marked with, after all press releases are all about getting your message out there. I would assume that these tags would not be put on the "on the wire" version that is sent to the city?
As far as your URL question is concerned, do you have an RSS feed for your press releases? If so then you don't have to do anything special with Technorati, just ping them with your "Press Releases" RSS feed URL.
I don't ping Technorati directly anymore, I use an excellent free service called Pingoat which pings a load of different RSS feed content aggregators and search engines. I find it's the best way to get loads of coverage with just one click!
Hope all this helps, if not, please comment back...
There might be a way to create something using greasemonkey but I'm not really sure.
If you come across a solution please let me know!
