I use RSS feeds and an article I read suggested I ping the sites that have my feed to alert them to updates.
I use XML-RPG type but I don't have a clue.
How do you do this.

For XML-RPC something like this..

["xmlrpc://rssrpc.weblogs.com/RPC2"].rssUpdate ("MyFeedName", "http://mysite.com/myfeed.rss")

depends who you are  pinging though... pinging yahoo is lots easier for example.

["xmlrpc://rssrpc.weblogs.com/RPC2"].rssUpdate ("MyFeedName", "http://mysite.com/myfeed.rss")

So mine would look like this if I were pinging Syndic8.com,

["xmlrpc://rssrpc.syndic8.com/RPC2"].rssUpdate ("Good News Letter", "http://www.believer.com/paul/rss.xml")

Where does this get posted to, or in what doc do I put it and where?

At the Syndic8 site they give this info for pinging.

weblogUpdates.extendedPing    

    * string SiteName
    * string SiteURL
    * string Unknown
    * string DataURL

    Status message     This function accepts notification of a change at the given feed as specified by the DataURL.

How does this work is it a unique file or is it inside the rss.xml file?


Thanks for your help in advance.
