What Does “Allow Pings” Mean?
Written by Bec on August 19, 2008 – 6:00 am -
When writing a new post in Wordpress, under the post box of the page you’ll see: Comments and Pings. “Allow Comments” is pretty clear, it means you’re allowing visitors and other bloggers to add comments to your post, but what is this “allow pings” stuff?
According to Pingoat:
“A blog ping is just a piece of text, in simple words that contains your blog name and the url. It is usually prepared in the XML format. The servers that accept pings have special programs for accepting and processing these ping notifications.”
Updating blogs regularly is a bit like an online news site providing the latest news as quickly as possible to its readers. By the same token a regularly updated blog is more valued by its readership than one that only updates occassionally. But how can you let the world know you’ve updated your blog? Certain web sites perform the task of providing the information relating to the recently updated blogs to users. This is done by a process called pinging. Pinging (in relation to a blog) is the act of informing a web site, like Technorati, (a search engine like Google but it is only for blogs), about new posts on your blog.
Whenever you post to your blog, a message is sent by Wordpress (or whatever blog software you’re using) to the web sites you’ve setup in your Update Services. In case you do not know where that is in Wordpress, just go to Settings and then to Writing and copy/paste or type in a ping list in the box of list of update services you’ll see near the bottom of the page. Be sure your url for each ping site starts on its own line, or it won’t copy in correctly. And save your changes.
Below is a list of English sites gathered up by Wordpress that you can add to your Update Services List. As you get more into the world of blogging, I’m sure you’ll come up with other sites to add to that list, just try to be sure you remove any duplicate listings so as not to be blacklisted for spamming.
