OK, I looked at Richard's source code (which I probably should have done right away) and I see the problem.
Now this is something I've argued against over at Microformats.org , but Technorati gets the category name from the URL you link to.
Normally, if you had a rel="tag" link URL like:
Then your category would be "NewTube". I.e., Technorate looks at the last "word" (if you want to call it that) in URL.
Richard's link URL (for videobloggingweek2006) is:
Which does NOT have videobloggingweek2006 as the last "word". Which is the problem Technorati is having.
Note, Technorati does this. But I (and others) don't like this and think that the word that you are using to make the rel="tag" link should matter. However (last we discussed this), Technorati doesn't care about that. (And they don't care about the title attribute either.)
See ya

Richard was using categories in Wordpress so Technorati is supposed to
pick up from his feed (which it did, but Richard was using the tag "video
blog week 2006" and not "videobloggingweek2006"). He wasn't using relTag.
