The Marmot’s Hole

I’m going to relay a proposal by dda for those of you out there who have a blog and think that it belongs to the Korean Blogosphere. There is currently an effort in the *Swiss* blogosphere to build an aggregator of [multilingual by essence] Swiss blogs, based on data provided by the ubiquitous Technorati. The temporary output of this effort resides at SwissBlogs Helvetia. There’s more to it behind the scenes I hear, but it’s a start. Check out the blogs’ screenshots when you click on “blog name”.dda has been offered a shot at organizing a similar effort for Korean blogs, and since the code already exists and requires little change to work for us, I think it is a great idea. It won’t require much effort from the blog owners to join that aggregator.

1. First make sure your blog engine [like Wordpress here] pings T’rati, so that you are index by them.
2. Then, go to Technorati, register, and claim your blog – the data on your blog in the aggregator will be much more accurate.
3. Finally, in your posts, add a directory tag: [a rel="tag directory" xhref="http://technorati.com/blogs/blogospheracoreana"]The Korean Blogosphere[/a]
