Technorati is so random

I love blogging. I also read a ton of blogs. Blogging is highly addictive - and so is checking stats... But I can't figure out Technorati. One day I am up, one day I'm down. I think I get more "authority" if people who read my blog add a link ...or something. So, if you have read this far, why not add me to your blog roll? It's easy and maybe then I'll be cool like Steven Furtick and Scott Hodge and Ben Arment - oh did I mention my theory that dropping names helps? :)
