Loading time is one of the major factor that may conglomerate visitors on your website. There are many techniques to cut down long load times of your blog. One of which can be using less third party content like badges images etc.
Now many of the bloggers like to display a Technorati badge showing thier blog’s Technorati Stats on their websites. Below is a small piece of code with which you can put up your blog stats on Technorati using the Technorati API.
The code is very simple to put up, also if you are familiar with PHP and HTML then you can use your own style to put the stats on your blog or website.
Have a look at the code…
$technorati = get_option("technorati");
if ($technorati['lastcheck'] < ( mktime() - 600 ) ) {
$apikey = "apikey";
$endpoint = "http://api.technorati.com/cosmos?key=".$apikey;
$request = $endpoint."&url=yoast.com&limit=10";
$snoopy = new Snoopy;
$result = $snoopy->fetch($request);
if ($result) {
$pattern1 = '/<inboundblogs>([0-9]+)<\/inboundblogs>/';
$pattern2 = '/<inboundlinks>([0-9]+)<\/inboundlinks>/';
$pattern3 = '/<rank>([0-9]+)<\/rank>/';
preg_match($pattern1, $snoopy->results, $matches);
preg_match($pattern2, $snoopy->results, $matches2);
preg_match($pattern3, $snoopy->results, $matches3);
$technorati['inboundblogs'] = number_format($matches[1]);
$technorati['inboundlinks'] = number_format($matches2[1]);
$technorati['rank'] = number_format($matches3[1]);
$technorati['lastcheck']= mktime();
update_option("technorati",$technorati);
}
}
echo "<h3>Technorati</h3>";
echo "<p>".$technorati['inboundblogs']." blogs linked
".$technorati['inboundlinks']." times in the last 6 months,
ranking it as ".$technorati['rank']." among all blogs.</p>";

As my opened my blog’s dashboard today, the first thing that I noticed was please upgrade your wordpress package.
Well I knew Wordpress 2.7 was to be released in November. But never expected 2.6.3 to be out. And this may be the last time I am upgrading wordpress as Wordpress 2.7 is to be incorporated with an auto upgrade feature. Cool !
So coming back to 2.6.3, the upgrade 2.6.3 was necessary as recently there was a critical vulnerability announced in the Snoopy Library. And our wordpress uses the same to get feeds in the dashboard. This is a simple upgrade and I wont recommend you to download the complete 1.2 MB package and upload it to your server and go throught the upgrade process if you are already running Wordpress 2.6.2. Basically only 2 files needs to be replaced here in case of upgrade from Wordpress 2.6.2 to.Wordpress 2.6.3 which are Read Complete Tutorial
