How to Use Technorati Tags

Technorati is a website that collects and organizes blogs and blog posts in one location. You can join Technorati and add your blog to the website at no charge. Technorati uses tags, keywords that describe the content of your blog and blog posts, to organize the site so users can find information about topics in which they are interested. You can add tags to your blog's information site on Technorati to help categorize it. Technorati also detects and organizes posts based on tags you use when you post articles on your blog.
