After attempting many different ideas and reading many different support posts. I did even send a support request that I never heard back from at Technorati's support site. I never heard back from them or managed to claim my blog.
This was sort of a disappointment. We could get as far as the second step when it would as for us to choose our claim method and no claim methods were enabled. As it turns out it is an issue with the blogging platform that hopefully shall be resolved shortly in the next release of the software. Until then there is a solution for anyone looking to claim their blog.
Chris Blankenship made a post on his blog about claiming your blog. Claim your BlogEngine.Net Blog at Technorati described exactly what was needed to accomplish this. I see that the issue he raises with the format of the xml document created by rsd.axd has been fixed within the latest source release up on CodePlex.
So I followed Chris's instructions and went through the simple issue of commenting out the following line in the web.config file.
<!--add verb="*" path="rsd.axd" type="BlogEngine.Core.Web.HttpHandlers.RsdHandler, BlogEngine.Core" validate="false"/-->
I then went back to claim my blog and received the claim code to be placed within a post and proceeded to follow the rest of the procedure. I also had to turn full posts back on within the home page of this blog so that Technorati could read the posts properly. Once the claim was done then I removed the post as well as turned the home page back to just the short display.
Hope this manages to help anyone using BlogEngine.Net. I'm very happy with this as a blog engine so far. I like the simplicity and have been working on writing a few different things I plan on doing a little more writing of a couple of extensions if they don't get written by someone else.
Any questions please feel free to leave them in the comments and I will try to get back to you as quickly as possible.
