Add your blog to Google Buzz

Google associaties most of your sites with your Google account by default. You can add these to your Google Buzz feed with a click of a button. But, what if you blog isn't listed among the options?You can manually associate your site with your account by adding this piece of code to your html code's header part. Just replace profilename with your Google profile name. Usually takes a few days for Google to pick-up the information.

There is an easier way.
Edit your Google profile and go to "Add custom links to my profile", and enter a URL and a Link name, then click "Add".

It won't work for Buzz unfortunately. It will only show up on your Google Profile.
You can use the Social Graph API tool to force Google to recrawl your page instead of having to wait until Google pick-up your website.
How would I do it for a Wordpress Blog if it is possible?

I don't know, but I'm sure code will come out within days.
All you have to do to add your blog updates to Google Buzz is associate your blog with your Google Profile, then activate them in Buzz.
Step 1:
To do it, first go to your Google Profile page: https://www.google.com/profiles/me/editprofile or http://www.google.com/profiles/YOUR-GOOGLE-NAME
Step 2:
Now add the URL links to your Wordpress, Drupal or any other site. NOT your RSS feed, but your blog address to your profile, near the bottom of the page.
Step 3:
Next, go to your Gmail Buzz page. Next to your name at the top is a link named X Connected Sites, where "X" is the number of links in your profile. Click on it.
Step 4:
Now just select the sites you want to show up in your Buzz feed and click Add and then Save.
That's it!

I should add that if you want to see if it's working, click your name at the top of your Buzz page to display a list of all your "Buzz" entries. If you've updated your site, it should show up in that Buzz list.

Adding a site to your profile will not associate it with you automatically. Just try adding creativebits. You will not be able to display it in buzz.
See "Step 3" above ;)

I know what you're saying but the list in buzz and the list you create on your profile doesn't match necessarily.
Google is a wounded rabid animal which I shall exocute soon!

I have added my site under my profile but the sites do not appear in the list of sites I can chose from?
