If your running or planning to upgrade to BlogSphere V3 then you may want to make use of the Technorati integration by displaying entries categories as links to Technorati and then the next logical step is to claim your blog on Technorati so you can make use of some of their advanced features.

Technorati claim process can make use of BlogSphere's built-in MetaWebLog API support to quickly determine of you own the blog or not.  Before beginning the claim process on Technorati you will need to make sure your BlogSpghere configuration document has a username and password set in the interfaces section.

Once the BlogSphere configuration is complete go to Technorati and either log into your existign account or create a new one. When you are logged in go to your account profile and click on the 'Blogs' tab and enter the url of your blog into the 'BlogURL' field and then click OK.  Technorati will then detect that your blog has the MetaWebLog API enabled and will enter it's Quick Claim mode and ask for the username and password. This is the username and password from above, not your Lotus Notes username or password.

Once Technorati has verified the username and password you will be able to enter in some extra details and tags for your blog and then save it to your account.

I tried to comment on the Blogsphere blog but it wouldn't let me. We recently started using Beta 6 of Blogsphere and we can't find any support for web-based posting. I just wanted to make sure we weren't missing anything and that indeed was something that is not there yet.
Thanks
Phil
