You need to add your blog to Yahoo! Site Explorer so that your site gets indexed and finds a place in Yahoo! Search whenever you update or make any posts in your blog/site.
Step 1 : Add My Site
After logging into Yahoo! Site Explorer, you will find an option to "Add My Site". Add your blog/site address there.
Step 2 : Authentication
After you paste your blog/site address and click "Add My Site", you will be prompted to authenticate your site. You will be asked a question "How would you like to authenticate your site?" and you have two options. Select the option "By adding a META tag to my home page.". Copy the META tag that may look like this..
<META name="y_key" content="780179fd363b75b4">
Modify the above META tag by adding / as shown below...
<META name="y_key" content="780179fd363b75b4"/>
Dont close this page because you need to come back and click "Ready to Authenticate".
Step 3 : Paste META Tag in your template
Go to Blogger -> Dashboard -> Layout -> Edit HTML...
Paste the META tag which you have copied, just below the HEAD tag. For example search for the following code...
<head>
<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
Then after pasting the META tag which you have copied earlier, your code must look like this...
<head>
<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>
<META name="y_key" content="780179fd363b75b4"/>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>
<META name="y_key" content="780179fd363b75b4"/>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
Save your template.
Step 4 : Ready to Authenticate
Now click "Ready to Authenticate" in Yahoo! Site Explorer.
Thats all.. You have now added your site to Yahoo! Site Explorer.. Happy Blogging...
