A Passion for Running

Welcome to the home of Mark aka The Running Blogfather – a 40 year-old dad, husband and marathon runner who's beaten injury and is on the comeback trail!

are you pinging?

Aaron and I were noticing that many blog updates are not showing up on the Running Blog Family Directory. While there are a few factors that can cause this, the most likely and easy reason can only be fixed by you.

Is your blog set up to ping weblogs.com?

Blogger/blogspot bloggers can check this under their settings-publishing menu. I imagine other bloggers (typepad etc) will have a similar setting but I’m not sure about the details for those blogs.

Turning on your pings will help the RBF Directory plus it should also help generate traffic for your blog.

Thanks!

I talked to my mechanic and he couldn’t help my pinging. And the veal wasn’t all that hot.

I looked into the pinging thing (I like typing that) and I don’t think I can have my journal ping weblogs.com. Livejournal doesn’t seem to have such a function (or it is incredibly well hidden). There’s a page at weblogs.com that states you can ping manually, which I’ve tried several times, but the asterisks never seem to show up in the blog directory. So I’ve given up. I guess I’ll have to limp along with light traffic visiting my site, but that’s okay. It’s probably best for the world. Thanks anyway!

If you ping http://rpc.pingomatic.com/ then it’ll ping weblogs, technorati, blogrolling etc for you all in one swoop!
