Technorati don't seem to cover Nucleus CMS much, so I've been struggling to understand why, having added the Technorati Tags plugin, none of the tags I input are showing up.

Much digging around, and tweaking of things in Nucleus, seems to lead me to believe that Technorati are parsing the Atom feed, not the RSS feed. And of course, the tags were listed as <category>tag</category> in the RSS feed, as per the instructions on the Technorati Tags page using <%TechnoratiTags(rss)%>, but I hadn't added them to the Atom feed.

Unfortunately, I've tweaked a few other things, partly in response to the help/faqs etc on Technorati (moving the tag placement around in the articles), so I'm not 100% sure which worked, given the lag between pinging them and things updating. Still, at least it works now - and fingers crossed I haven't broken something else in the process!

PS Just checked, and this post now shows up on a search for "Technorati" and "Nucleus" tags. All I need to do now, however, is work out how to get Technorati to parse the content properly, and show the text, not the HTML. Argh!!!

TEST POST!

Just got back from Octopush. Trying to fix brokem Technorati tags - don't know why, but the posts are being indexed, but the tags aren't.

Fingers crossed they are now...
