Happy Tuesday, all you crazy rightwing nutjobs! 😉
After seeing alot of folks still not showing as updated in the blogrolls, I am going to repost this puppy:
After reading a post over at Miss Beth’s about trackback issues, I noticed something strange: lots ofÂ
blogson-line journals are not showing as updated since April 6th or 7th. This encompasses those on WordPress, Moveable Type, Typepad, Blogger, and a few other hosts/platforms.
If you can, you should ping Blogrolling directly at â€http://rpc.blogrolling.com/pinger/†or go to Blogrolling.com and use the manual pinger. There have been many issues in the past (can’t complain too much, it is a free service) with the weblogs.com updates not going to Blogrolling. Do not rely on Pingomatic.com, they have been going up and down.
If your software allows adding more ping address’, add them. Cannot hurt. Except with Technorati, which, according to rumor, will blacklist anyone sending out multiple pings too often.
You can go here to see what all the ping address’ are. Don’t over do it, though.
Why should you make sure you show as updated on a blogroll? Readers. If someone sees you are update, they might pop over and see what’s up. Also, if you are showing as updated on some lists, such as Blogs For Bush or Homespun Bloggers, it helps your ranking a bit in the Ecosphere.
Do you have an interesting post? Well, go ahead and leave a trackback, with a reciprical link back to me. Others offering open trackbacks are over in the right sidebar, near bottom. Have at it, y’all!
I Wonder How He Really Feels?…
Telegraphing. I’m sure you’ve heard the term before, it indicates giving away your intent, either with intent to do so, or by accident. Michael Barone has an incredibly slanted piece up over at Real Clear Politics today….

While many senators, on both sides of the aisle, were condemning the nomination…

The Sammenhold Blogroll is a group of blogs who exhibit our solidarity with Denmark in itÂ’s fight to preserve our Freedom of Speech, Freedom of the Press and Western societal values….
Pingomatic acts loopy too often. I like Pingoat.com better.
haven’t heard of that one before.
I know that I never get updated with technorati, no clue why.
Media Bias – Say it ain’t SO!…
As hard as it is to believe, the media has a way of phrasing things so that the facts sound a little different than they really are. ItÂ’s all in the words used. The propaganda value is for the person who watches a few minutes of the news per day and ….
William, you can ping your blog and update it on technorati. I don’t know that much about it. I use the ping thing on Blog Explosion – I’m sure there are others.
I have tried ad nauseum to do it. Manually, using Ping-O-Matic. Tried removing the Amazon adds, having different templates as default, removing plugins, I’m just not sure what the problem is, though I think it may have something to do with the old typepad address. Maybe. I have pretty much given up on technorati for this address. Sigh.
Bad Times at California High…
On today’s Laura Ingraham show she railed against a California judge who struck down a high school graduation test. The ruling is preliminary, and we will not know the final decision until Friday, but Laura felt the fact a judge……
Thanks for the repeat post – I’ve noticed I offend don’t show as updated on blogrolls. I didn’t figure it made that much difference other than that ppl wouldn’t see it as updated. Now I’ll have to figure out what to do.

Have you tried putting down the pipe and drying off first? Pings might not respond well to smoke and salt water … just a thought 🙂
Have you placed some of the code for direct pinging of blogrolling in there under options?
