I don’t usually use Technorati tags. However, given Gnomedex’s alpha-geekery, I thought I’d give them a try for my notes. I did, but sadly none of my posts have showed up in the Gnomedex tag page. I even experimented with a unique tag: purplemonkeydishwasher. No joy. Niall from Technorati gave some tips, but that doesn’t seem to have helped. My RSS feed is valid. Any ideas?
UPDATE: Yeah, Technorati loves me again.

Darren, I find that only a small percentage of posts actually make it into the Technorati index, even when you ping them. I assume you are pinging them.
Did fixing your UTF-8 encoding errors fix the problems?
How did you fix it? I have had this problem ever since upgrading my blog.
I’m pretty sure it was the UTF-8 encoding. Niall suggested I use http://validator.w3.org, and it identified a couple of errors. It took a while to fix itself, I think, because I use Feedburner for my RSS feed.
