Add Technorati Tags to a Blogger post

One of the things I miss most about using Blogger instead of Wordpress is the use of Technorati tags. I could hand code the tags using HTML; however, there's a better way using the following javascript developed by the now defunct Oddiophile blog.

javascript:(function(){var%20a='';var%20t=prompt('Enter%20Tags:','');var%20tr=t.split('%20');a+='Technorati%20Tags:%20';for(var%20i=0;i%200){a+=',%20';}a+=''+tr[i]+'';}a+='';prompt('Copy%20this%20code,%20press%20OK,%20then%20paste%20to%20your%20blog%20entry:',a);})()

Here's how to make this script an easy-to-use tool:

:: Create a new bookmark/favorite and manually enter the bookmarklet name and code (or copy from above)

or

:: Drag the following text, Technorati Tags, to your bookmark or favorites toolbar for quick access

To use the bookmarklet:

:: Select the bookmarklet from the toolbar or menu - a dialog box will appear requesting the the tags
:: Enter the tags seperated by a space and click the OK button - generated HTML code will be highlighted in the dialog box
:: Copy the code
:: Press the Cancel button to close the dialog box
:: Select the Edit Html tab at the top-right of the Blogger post window
:: Paste the code at the bottom of the post (or wherever)
:: Publish the post

Sample tags can be found at the end of this post. Until Blogger officially supports Technorati tags, this is the best alternative I've found. Now I have to go through all my old posts and add tags!
