I was up early this morning. The smoke alarm kept beeping to tell me the battery is going flat. It still beeped even when I took the battery out! I pressed the test button and eventually it stopped A little while later the downstairs alarm did exactly the same thing

Still without my first coffee of the day I fired up my laptop and did another search on Google for wwwgurus. We're still at number 6, but at number 9 was our entry on Technorati. Google's cached page shows that when Google crawled Technorati on 6 Aug 2007 at 10:05:09 GMT we were top of their list of new posts about internet marketing! I clicked the link and then Technorati invited me to sign up and claim my blog, which I duly did. To prove I own the blog I had to make a new post on the blog, including a special link to my shiny new Technorati Profile. Here it is!

Technorati also asked me if I'd like to add a button to my blog that people could click on to show their approval. I went into the blogger dashboard and added an HTML/Javascript page element, then copied and pasted the HTML code Technorati supplied into it. You can now see the nice green button over on the top right, just above the AdSense block.
