For Those About To PING...

[Planet Mark]

Just a quicky for those who currently manually ping their blogs etc using ping-o-matic... a quick script that lives in your bookmarks which can be used to ping page you are currently on with one click.

I found it easiest to over-write a current bookmark, and just changed its name for reference - you simply overwrite the URL in the bookmark properties with this:

javascript:location.href='http://pingomatic.com/ping/?title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+'&blog url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&chk_webl ogscom=on&chk_blogs=on&chk_technorati=on&chk_feedb urner=on&chk_syndic8=on&chk_newsgator=on&chk_myyah oo=on&chk_pubsubcom=on&chk_blogdigger=on&chk_blogr olling=on&chk_blogstreet=on&chk_moreover=on&chk_we blogalot=on&chk_icerocket=on&chk_newsisfree=on&chk _topicexchange=on&chk_google=on&chk_tailrank=on&ch k_bloglines=on&chk_aiderss=on&chk_skygrid=on&chk_a udioweblogs=on&chk_rubhub=on&chk_geourl=on&chk_a2b =on&chk_blogshares=on'

Then when you next ping you just go to the post / page to be pinged and select the bookmark you overwrote (and get to the ping-o-matic results page).

Think that WP users already have a way to do this automatically, but this works a treat for my blogger blogs.

Cheers, Mark

I have to admit to some curiosity on this. Would someone please explain to me why people are manually pinging blog posts? I've never heard of doing this before.

On a side note - Do many people here use a list of sites that they enter into WP to be automatically pinged when a post is made?

If so anyone willing to share?

That was something new in me... Thank you for sharing this one..! I'm already doing what you have instructed...

This was an easy way of pinging your blog. Awesome.
