Pinging questions
By Mike | May 30, 2008

Today’s question:
I am very new to wordpress, my question is when you edit a post which has already been published does the ping-o-matic, ping - the post again as if it were a new post?
The default in WordPress is to re-ping the post when it is edited. This hasn’t changed to the best of my knowledge.
This is one of the reasons that Smart Update Pinger. It checks to see if the post was previously published then only pings if it hasn’t already been pinged. This keeps me out of trouble when my proof reading sucks. (Most of the time
).
If you constantly ping your posts you can have trouble with the services as they may feel you are spamming them.
Also you should add more than just pingomatic to your ping list. You can add those under settings - writing at the bottom of the page. In the paragraph above is a link to the codex which will show you quite a few others you may add.
As always your comments and questions are welcomed.
