So you’ve installed WordPress 2.5, now you want to show Technorati links on the dashboard. Here’s the code, that you can add in your functions.php or create a php file call it directly. The code will simply add the Technorati links in your exisiting dasboard layout. You can adjust CSS or make a widget out of it.

[php]$defaultdata = array( ’til_links’ => “10″, );
add_action(’activity_box_end’, ’til’);
function til() {
global $defaultdata, $til_settings;
if (!function_exists(’MagpieRSS’)) { // Check if another plugin is using RSS, may not work
include_once (ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/rss.php’);
error_reporting(E_ERROR); }
$home = get_option(”home”);
$rss = @fetch_rss(’http://feeds.technorati.com/cosmos/rss/?url=’.$home.’/');
if ( isset($rss->items) && 1 < count($rss->items) ) { // Technorati returns a 1-item feed when it has no results
print ‘

‘;
$til_links = 10;
$rss->items = array_slice($rss->items, 0, $til_links);
foreach ($rss->items as $item ) {
$itemL = wp_filter_kses($item["link"]);
$itemT = wptexturize(wp_specialchars($item["title"]));
print ‘
• ‘.$itemT.’

‘;
} print ‘

‘; } }
//add_action(’admin_footer’, ‘noff_warning’);

function cd_remove() { remove_action( ‘admin_head’, ‘index_js’ ); }
add_action( ‘admin_print_scripts’, ‘cd_remove’ );
function cd_incoming_links() {?>

function cd_css() { ?>

[/php]

Note: I think, I got this code from some plugin. Thanks to the coder.
