# Technorati Problems…

 * Hi, I had posted this question on an already-established post but no one replied,
   so I’m trying it again on a new post. I’ve been trying to figure out why my technorati
   logo isn’t appearing on the sidebar of my blog. I’ve looked at the codex as well
   as previous discussions, and I’ve tried to following the examples but it’s still
   not working for me. Blog: `www.shoganART.com/blogger`
 * Here is what I put in the header template, between style and meta:
 * `<script type="text/javascript" src="http://embed.technorati.com/embed/6yaey5x3h.
   js"></script>`
 * Here is what I put on the bottom of my sidebar template:
 * `<div class="6yaey5x3h">
    <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- 6yaey5x3h(); //--
   ></script> </div>
 * Can anyone point out my mistake to me? Thanks…

 * Looks like there might be some character set oddness. Or did you edit the sidebar
   with something other than a plain text editor? When I view the source it looks
   like this
 * `<script type="text/javascript">
    <!– 6yaey5x3h(); //–></script
   >
 * Could something be converting the — into a fancy character?

 * Are you sure the code you have in the sidebar provides an image? If I recall 
   correctly they have different versions, some with no img, and some with a choice
   of a few images.
 * As an aside, you really need to dump that background. It completely overwhelms
   the clean simple design of the Pool Theme. To be honest it’s digustingly gaudy.
 * You also need to upgrade from WP Ver 1.5.1.3, it has some series security holes
   in it. 2.0 will be out sometime on 26 Dec, PLEASE upgrade at minimum to Ver 1.5.2.

 * Well, yes, the upgrades need to be done, but beauty IS in the eye of the beholder,

 * Vkaryl, I’m not sure why there are those weird characters in the code. All I 
   did was edit the header and sidebar template by using the theme editor on WP.
   Does Technorati really require the code on my WP blog in order to use their service?
 * Marc, thanks for advising me of the udates. As for your comment on my background.
   I don’t mind hearing constructive criticism at all…but there are nicer ways of
   giving it to a person.

 * That would depend on what you want to use Technorati for. If you want the Technorati
   bot to check your blog periodically, catalogue your tags, and list both your 
   blog and posts in the search results at technorati.com, then you do not need 
   to add their code.

 * I am having the same problem and just found this thread. There seems to be no
   answer but on looking at the script technorati states above it that the script
   must be n the template so am I to assume that it means not the area where I Aadjust
   the sidebar but the main template?

 * It’s fine to put in sidebar not Main Template. Either is okay.
 * I didn’t have to change my header at all. I just put the 2-lines of JS code in
   my sidebar template.
