Support » Fixing WordPress » Verifying Ping

  • I have been using WordPress for around a month. I wanted to verify if my blogs were being pinged per the Writing Option in WordPress.

    I decided first to see if I was listed in Google Blog Search:

    http://blogsearch.google.com/

    Nope not there. Google says to be listed this has to happen:

    If your blog publishes a site feed in any format and automatically pings an updating service (such as Weblogs.com), we should be able to find and list it

    Next, I did a search on verifying pings in the forum. It was suggested I use

    http://www.redalt.com/External/pingomation.php

    to test to see if my pinging was working.

    I used, but got the following result:

    Blog URL “” was last updated at Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:59:59 -0500

    Goodness, my website wasn’t even on the net in 1969 and I started using WordPress only a month or so. So I’m wondering if I’m using the above tool correctly.

    I’m also wondering if the pinging service is working correctly in WordPress.

    Any feedback would be appreciated.

    thanks
    steve
