My Technorati Rank Badge
Some of you might have noticed that I have added a new Technorati Rank badge located on the left side column here at www.tyleringram.com
It is loosely based on the Technorati widget that Doug Karr created and that Bobby Matthis modified. Instead of writing all of the information to a cache file my little badge currently only writes the Technorati Rank to a text file that is then read into PHP and has the above image created.
Possible future version might include both Technorati Rank and the Authority Rank, but for now I think it looks neat and creating dynamic images with PHP (utilizing the GD2 Library) is actually pretty fun.
If there is enough interest in the badge I created I could look at distributing it in a small package that is easily deployable across any blog that uses PHP and has support for the GD2 library.

‘Course I’d be interested.
But of course! Now do I make it a WordPress plugin so that the majority of bloggers have an easier time to add it?
Sure, I’d be interested and yes, WP plugin-it
I’ve actually been working on making it a wordpress plugin and so far it’s working nicely on my wordpress test site. Though its not on a public server and I need to write up a little instruction file for it. Though its pretty straight forward if you’ve added previous plugins to your blog. I’ll be finishing it up hopefully today and will post it for people to try it out and give me feedback.
Thanks!
