Typically a tag will be inserted into your blog using a handy tool like Qumana in a standard format as follows:

<a href="http://technorati.com/tag/[TAGNAME]" rel="tag">[TAGNAME]</a>

However, new Technorati guru Janice offers a great tip to convert that tag to a self-searching tag.

What does this do?

Well, instead of tagging your post with a link that will take your readers to Technorati to browse other like-tagged posts, your readers can search like-tagged posts from your archives. Neat, hey?

To convert your tag, simply convert this:

"http://technorati.com/tag/[TAGNAME]"

to this:

"http://technorati.com/tags/[YOURTAG]?from=http://[YOURBLOGURL]"

Your readers will still get pointed to Technorati, but it’s a neat extension.

Let’s try it! (Note, I’m using Blogaholics since my tag archives are larger)
