Does editing an existing post send new pingbacks or trackbacks? (3 posts)

    I'm having concern that when ever I make an edit to an existing post, that i'm re-sending my pings to the blogging sites I have linked to in my post.

    I've read that the ping sites which wordpress pings to by default receive NEW pings every time an edit is made to a post. This causes the sites to block you, since they think you are spamming. The recommended solution is to use a plugin that stops this...so that's what I did. This whole thing is what got me wondering if the same thing could happen to me with the actual linked sites I have included in my posts. I don't want them to keep receiving a new ping message every time i update a post.

    This seems like it would be a common question, but I just can't find an answer anywhere. I would appreciate it if anyone could clear this up for me. Thanks.

    What's the point of these wordpress forums if no one ever is willing to answer the questions?

    When ever I have a question, I first check the wordpress forums for answers. It seems like 70% of the questions are left un-answered. A bit rediculous indeed. It's not like i'm asking a difficult question here. I just can not find an answer anywhere.
