Comprehensive list of ping services that you can use to let the world know when you’ve updated your blog
Update Ping Services
You can copy and paste these URIs into your blog service ping options screen (in WordPress, you do it by choosing Options > Writing > Update Services) with each URI on its own line. In MovableType you can add these URI’s to the list of where to ping by going to your configuration settings for notifications.
While TypePad doesn’t officially support customizing pings, there is a workaround, albeit a bit tedious - simply paste the list of URI’s into the box entitled ‘Send a TrackBack to these addresses’ in the edit post screen (yes, this means you need to do this for each and every post you create). If you don’t see the field for sending trackbacks, make sure you’re using the advanced or custom post editor by clicking the link on the create/edit post page entitled, ‘Customize the display of this page’ (it’s below the preview and save buttons).
Not surprisingly, Blogger doesn’t support customizing of pings and since they don’t support trackbacks either, I haven’t figured out a way to get this working on Blogger. I don’t yet have b2evolution or Blosxom blogs installed yet, so I’ve no idea whether they support pings or allow you to customize them..
Anyhow, here’s my comprehensive list of ping services to ping to tell them that you’ve updated your blog:

Could you please remove the reference to the XML-RPC service on Blogbot.dk?
I don’t know why it was added in the first place. The service is only available to users who have signed up in advance. Other users are blocked. In order to sign up, the blog must be written in Danish and meet certain other criteria. So I don’t think it is appropriate to include in this list.
Currently I block several hits to the XML-RPC service per second. This is consuming quite a lot of resources on my little server.
Thanks in anticipation.

Hey,
I came across your website today from another blog that I enjoy. Your site gave me so much information I needed. It was simple and to the point which I appreciate because I get tired of having to read a bunch of stuff to get the info I need. And its nice seeing a fellow woman so informed on computer stuff. I will be back. Keep up the good work.

Good info. My question is that if you use services like pingomatic, and then include manual pings to services that pingomatic already pings… could this lead to sites considering you a spammer because of multiple simultaneous pings?
