blogs must use Ping-O-Matic

Ping-O-Matic is a service that allows you to ping various arregators. Ping will trigger them to scan your blog and index your content. Nothing extra-ordinary, but, the cool thing is that they provide you a direct link to come back to their site and automatically re-ping your submitted data.... so what can you do? You can set up your own blog to ping that link (simple http get), which will automatically ping all the major aggregators.

With blogCFC, all you have to do is paste that url into the pingurls config setting in the blog.ini file.

Being a bit blonde here.... (and there's probably not enough coffee in my veins yet)

So you fill in the form and tick the boxes for the various feeds. It moved on to the next page and it gives you a bookmark. Its this bookmark that you paste into the ping urls setting? Is that right?

In Movable Type, you can add "http://rpc.pingomatic.com/"; to the sites to notify.

Stephen, that is correct. It's nice and simple.

Brian, I wrote an RPC client for blogCFC, but how do you specify which aggregators to ping?

HI Rob, I don't know. I just let it do the default, which I assume is to ping all the non-specialized services it lists.
