In reply to: Technorati “blogs that link here” buttonJust to make it easier for anybody who sees this thread later:
I will assume you have claimed your blog at Technorati.
Once you sign in to Technorati, click “Edit” next to your user name at the top of the window. Then click the “Blogs” tab to go to the blogs you have claimed. And there you will see the link to “Edit settings,” where you can get the code to which jabecker referred.
Thanks again for helping unlock this mystery, jabecker.

In reply to: Technorati “blogs that link here” buttonAha! That’s it!
Thank you a million times, jabecker! And now searchers of the WP support forums will have the true word!
I don’t think I would have found this just by prowling Technorati.

In reply to: Technorati “blogs that link here” buttonYep, that’s it. The question is, where do I get that key?
I sent Technorati an email asking that. (Well, actually, I asked them where to get the code for that button.)

In reply to: Technorati “blogs that link here” buttonNope, not the same. I just stuck it into my blog and tried it.
The one I want to use would take you to a search results page for your blog at Technorati, and show a list of the incoming links with blurbs of the blog entries.
The one you posted above takes me to a search page where I can enter a lot of stuff (including my blog name) and get to that results page. But it doesn’t just cough up the results.
I tried substituting bloginfo(‘name’) for the_permalink() , hoping it would insert the blog name, but it didn’t.
I’ll leave it on my site ( http://davesmidlife.com ), but I’m still looking for the old button.

In reply to: Technorati “blogs that link here” buttonThanks. I did see that one, and it looked like the closest thing to what I’m talking about that Technorati published.
But I’m actually not looking to show my link count right there on my blog (since right now it’s pretty small!); instead I want just to be able to click and go to Technorati and see which blogs link there.
One year ago this button was offered by Technorati, and I see it all over the place. (You can see it on my podcast’s site, http://thewordnerds.org .)
I don’t know where Technorati put the code now! And the trick seems to be that you need a Technorati-generated character string to make it work properly. The blog’s URL is not sufficient, so I can’t just grab the code from my podcast’s site and alter the URL or something.

In reply to: podPress Feed File Not Working In iTunesI was having a similar problem. I moved my site from GoDaddy to BlueHost. After the move, iTunes would not see my RSS feed as a valid podcast URL. This was running WP 2.0.2 and podPress 7.0.
At the suggestion of Todd, a support tech at BlueHost, I upgraded podPress to 7.3, and the problem instantly went away. iTunes can see my feed just fine now.

In reply to: CSS – Turning off Header TextSorry. I figured it out. I’m not sure where, but I found some code for moving the title way off to the left of the screen.
The site where I’ve been trying to do this, actually, is thewordnerds.info.

In reply to: CSS – Turning off Header TextI am trying to modify the Kubrick template. I stuck that code into my style.css file.
The description went away, but the blog title is still there. I wonder whether I misunderstood something.
I put the code at the bottom of the file. Is that right?
