Xeross – unfortunately I have to put that small bit of gibberish into my blog for Technorati.com ‘s rather archaic “blog claiming” process. While I can appreciate their endeavors to make sure blogs being claimed are done so by the true authors, they now force you to put the claim tag directly into a post (rather than into the footer or header, where a reader won’t see it, as they did in the past). Technorati used to be one of the great sites for blogs, bloggers and the blogosphere as a whole. But it’s service, it’s quality and my impression as a whole have suffered over the years.
Chalk it up to spammers making a mess of the system once again.
Xeross – The post can (thankfully) be deleted once the blog has passed Technorati’s verification process. I’ve read on their site they revamped their verification process in November and December of 2009. I have no idea why the “upgraded” process now disallows putting the code into the header/footer. My logic would suggest putting code into a header would be more proof of blog ownership, not less.
Actually, I’m leaving the post up for two reasons. One, the comments (hopefully) will shed light to others what Technorati is/what these gibberish posts may be in other blogs. Two, it’d be pretty bad of me to delete the one post I thought would be nothing that turned out to have a significant conversation of comments as a result. Just goes to show you that preconceived notions (this post *surely* won’t get any comments) can always get turned on their heads!
Huh ?

So you need to keep this post on your blog for an infinite amount of time or can you delete it once they approved it ?
It’s indeed a pretty stupid system, header/footer validation should be sufficien.

Ye I guess it’s kinda stupid, well I assume these comments will dissappear once you get approved.

Ah k, might indeed be a good idea to keep it, you might even get search engine visitors
I just noticed, your related posts point to some non-existent entries on other blogs.
