Hello Friends,
I have developed a simple little add-on for your blog. To know what I am talking about, just see the labels in my post’s footer. Notice the tiny Technorati pic beside each label. When clicked, it shows you all the posts from bloggosphere that have been tagged with the label in question. (See end of this post for Del.icio.us how-to)
It is a good way to allow your reader to search Technorati using tags and serves as a sort of “related posts from other blogs” link. Installing this code is fairly simple. Just follow these steps:
1. Edit your template HTML code and check the “Expand Widget Templates” box. Make a backup of your template if you are not used editing HTML.
2. Look for your post footer i.e. look for <div class=’post-footer’>
3. Then in there, look for the labels code i.e. look for <span class=’post-labels’>
4. In there, look for the main label href i.e. look for:
<a expr:href=’data:label.url’ rel=’tag’><data:label.name/></a>
and immediately after that line add this code:
<a expr:href='"http://technorati.com/tag/" + data:label.name' rel='tag' target='_blank' title='Search this tag on Technorati'/><img alt='' border='0' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/178/17688294081221/320/25365/technorati.gif' style='vertical-align:middle'/></a>
That’s it! It’s as simple as that. However, let me know if your face any problems.
Update: Del.icio.us How-to:
Deniz from imessengr.com has added the “search in Del.icio.us tags” functionality to labels, on similar lines. You can access the code from here.
