Everyone’s favorite blog tracking, ranking and tag search engine service, Technorati, has just added a new feature to their services list. Favorites lets you create a publicly viewable list of your favorite bloggers, making it incredibly easy to keep track of their content. Each person is allowed to store up to 50 favorites and is given a public URL with this format: http://technorati.com/faves/username. For example, you can look at my favorites with this link.
PaulStamatiou.com runs on the Thesis Theme for WordPress
Thesis is the search engine optimized WordPress theme of choice for serious online publishers. If you’re a blogger who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, Thesis will give a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks.
With so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site. The theme is robust and flexible enough not only to accommodate a site like PaulStamatiou.com, but also to enable the site to run far more efficiently than it ever has before.
I used the Scribe WordPress plugin and service to optimize this blog post for SEO.

My wordpress.com account automatically integrates itself into Technorati but I’m not entirely convinced that Technorati does much for my blog.
Are the special icons only for chosen bloggers, or can anyone set them up?
Haha, that part was a joke – I photoshopped that.
Hah, nice Paul! I’m really stoked on the stuff Technorati have been rolling out lately. They’ve got a great service going and it’s only improving. Not sure I’ll use this too much, but I definitely see the value in it.
Can I put the favorites list into my blog sidebar (a la Blogrolling)? That would be much more useful than sending them to Technorati.
