I use this plugin for technorati tags and it works well.

I haven't tested it yet on wp2.0 yet, but I have it running on a 1.5 installation at http://www.camsexworld.com/blog/ Check a post, and view the source. You'll see the tags are there, and get indexed at technorati, but there is no anchor text for a traffic leak. I hacked the plugin a bit to remove that. It works out well.

I understand that technorati also automatically tags you according to category name as well when you ping them, so name your categories well.

Oops. Sorry, I just assumed you were running WP, bunky. Here is a good article on using technorati tags. About half way down you'll see a sub heading "Invisible Tags", that's where I got the idea to mess with the aforementioned plugin. It can all be done manually if you can't extend whatever software you are using. Make a text file with tags you commonly use, then just copy and paste what you need into each post and ping away.

I use that tag program also, what code did you take out?

I can't remember what I took out. I'm not much of a coder, but rather systematically broke someone else's hard work until it did what I wanted. I zipped it up if you want to take a look at it.

Like I said, it works fine for me on 1.5, but looking at the author's website, it seems there are some changes I'll have to read about before putting it in a 2.0 blog. If there are any issues with it not working on your blog, I'd check the author's website.

The zip file is at http://www.superpimpdesigns.com/misc/simpletags.zip

There also seems to be some debate as to if you'll be penalized by technorati for using no anchor text. I haven't seen any sign of that yet in my stats, but I think when I upgrade to 2.0, I may try hiding it with CSS, just to be on the safe side.
