On my blog, Slobokan’s Site O’ Schtuff I recently migrated from Wordpress to Drupal. While there are a couple of Wordpress plugins which make it easy to put technorati tags in your posts, I found that after migrating I was stuck with obscure code at the bottom of hundreds of posts.

When using Wordpress, the plugin made the tags appear as:

Technorati Tags: this, is, a, tag, list.

But after the migration I was stuck with:

<tags> this, is, a, tag, list </tags>

or some other variant thereof.

I haven’t had the time to write a script to remove those lines, or better yet, convert them to a better format, but I did have time to write Slobokan’s Technorati Tagger.

This simple application allows you to enter a comma delimited list and then generate the actual HTML code needed to insert in your post. The generated code is automatically copied to the clipboard for pasting into your blogging application, all you have to do is paste the code (Ctrl-V).

With the actual HTML code in your posts, you wont have to worry about migrating to another blogging platform, or if your existing plugin working with future versions of the one you are currently using.

Note: No installation necessary. Just download, unzip, and run the executable.
