Using Blogger Labels as Technorati Tags

Yesterday I work out a neat hack with Blogger labels. Only to find someone else had discovered it already. Anyway here it is.

1. Open Blogger and navigate to Template > Edit HTML.
2. Check the "Expand widget templates" box.
3. Find the following code:

<br/>
<span class='post-labels'>
      <b:if cond='data:post.labels'>
        <data:postLabelsLabel/>
        Read my posts about: <b:loop values='data:post.labels' var='label'>
          <a expr:href='data:label.name' rel='tag'><data:label.name
/></a><b:if cond='data:label.isLast != "true"'>,</b:if>
        </b:loop>
      </b:if>
    </span>.
       4. And below it add this:

          
<br/>
 
<span class='post-labels'>
      <b:if cond='data:post.labels'>
        <data:postLabelsLabel/>
      Technorati tags:  <b:loop values='data:post.labels' var='label'>
          <a expr:href='"http://technorati.com/tag/" + data:label.name' rel='tag'>
<data:label.name/></a><b:if cond='data:label.isLast != "true"'>,</b:if>
        </b:loop>
      </b:if>
    </span>

5. If you want to show only the Technorati tags and not the labels, replace the first code with the second.

6. Note: The Tags will be whatever you put in as labels. In other words the labels and tags will be the same.

Technorati Tags all day long!
