Is there some way to automate the pinging process when updating your RSS feed? Eg, you ahve a script that updates the XML file, then automatically pings RSS search engines like syndic8? pinging manually is time-consuming
What blogging software are you using? WordPress does it for you automatically. Also, take a look at http://www.pingoat.com/ - I think they cover most places you need to ping.
I'm not up on pinging either and need to learn more.I did find this article this morning: http://oldweblogscomblog.scripting.com/directory/11
