   I'm sure this has an obvious answer....

   Ocassionally i want to fling out a tag while not making it a formal WP category. To do so, I use the standard technorati call:

   [tagname]

   However, unlike the category feature, these tags end up showing up as words posted at the bottom of my post. I don't want to screw up the tag from being picked up from technorati. What can i do to keep the tag out of the text of the post?

   Thanks

   Does Technorati pick up tags inside HTML comments of the form
   <!-- tag1 tag2 --> ?

   You could also use negative positioning to nudge it off the physical page. Set "margin-left: -9999px" for instance, and it won't be seen by users, but can still be read by Technorati.

   I don't know the answer to the first question. The second seems like a good way to go. Thanks

   Or put it in a parapgraph with margin 0 padding 0 and a class of hidden.

   Tags don't even need to be in the body of your post for them to be indexed by Technorati -- they just have to show up in your Atom feed. You can check out my keywords plugin for a more flexible approach to tagging.

   Why not put them within an invisible div tag?
