I think I originally posted this question under the wrong DP forum. I'm new to blogging but have got two blogs running and have set up a Yahoo account with RSS feeds to the two blogs. I was going to use the Yahoo ping api which they (Yahoo) describe (Eg. http://api.my.yahoo.com/rss/ping?u=http://my-blog-name.blogspot.com), to force a rapid re-index each time I update my blogs, but when I use it, a 16-bit progam window opens on my WinXP machine and then throws a memory exception error. Does anyone know a way around this? Is there a 32-bit version of the api or something ? Alternatively, does anyone know how to get in touch with the Yahoo tech-support team who might be able to answer this ?
The URL is not valid anymore it seems try the following one I would say: http://search.yahooapis.com/SiteExplorerService/V1/updateNotification
