I started a Blog Claim in Technorati and it was mind boggling. I filled all the blanks with all the necessary information like, my blog's URL, my blog's RSS Feed URL and possible tags for it.
After submitting the Blog Claim, the next step is to "Check Claim". It means that Technorati will verify if I am the real author of the site and they will look for a unique code in my site. They will assign a Claim Token (ex. A8632434YG5) for that claim. But the problem is, what will I do with the token? There's no exact instruction so you will find it confusing.
These are the things that you need to know.
1. Copy the Claim Token (ex. A8632434YG5). You can find it directly in technorati page or in your email address.
2-A. Go to your Blogger Account and to your Edit Posts area. Open your latest post and paste the Token code (ex. A8632434YG5) anywhere in your post's content.
2-B. Or if you want, just create a New Post. You can put whatever title you want, ex. Technorati Code. Then paste the Claim Token (ex. A8632434YG5) in the content section. You will see that it is the only content of your post, but that's okey.
3. Go back to Technorati site and submit your Blog Claim. Wait while they evaluate or read your site's data. In my case, it took a couple of minutes before I got a confirmation below.
4. Once you received that confirmation, you can go back to Blogger and delete the post that you have created.
5. Wait until Technorati completed their review over your blog.
In my experience, it took more than 5 hours to complete the review. After that, the site will be listed in the Technorati Blog Directory.

I have submitted a Blog Claim in Technorati and noticed that they have improved the instructions on how to Claim a Token. Now, it's absolutely easier and clearer to follow the Blog Claiming procedures.
