Talk about starting from scratch!
I just set up this blog with Technorati, made the claim and added the code so that it is listed as a blog that belongs to me, is included in my profile and enables it to be found in Technorati searches.
It’s humbling – although hardly surprising – to see where Technorati ranks it right now:
Contrast this with how Technorati sees NevOn, the blog on TypePad I’ve been writing since July 2004:
So I have 1,106,895 steps to climb to at least match the connectivity of the old (well, still current) blog.
I love a challenge!

Well, this is a good start!
Hey, i just found you new site. Neat. Steve Rubel recently said that you should be able to take your Technorati rating with you and I agree. The current method means that you are pretty tied to teh platform you started blogging on, even if it isn’t the best resource anymore. How undemocratic is that?

That’s an issue, Kami, I agree. I think it would make more sense if your Technorati rating were portable.
Yet I do wonder how much this really does matter. When I do complete the transition to here from TypePad – sometime in the coming week is the plan – the old blog will still exist and still be included in the Technorati system. So the specific rank for that blog will no doubt decline over time. So what? The content is still there and will still be discoverable. Plus it will have a clear link to this new blog.
Kare, thanks for your comment.
