Widget: Technorati Search

technosearch.png Thanks to Niall Kennedy for sending me this cool Technorati widget. This widget includes a Technorati search box with an option to search only the current blog or all all blogs in the Technorati database. It also provides a link to the Technorati search results for the current blog’s URL (example). There are no prerequisites for this plugin, and I intend to include it in the release of the next version of Sidebar Manager.
