Auto Pinging

I've been using WordPress on Tech Based Marketing's official blog and even experimented with b2 evolution but decided to stick with WordPress. Why WordPress or any other blog application other than Blogger? Well... for one I like the ability to have trackback. Yes sick as it sounds I do, sure there's the chance I'll get spam but at least I can review it before allow it to go through. But more so I like the ability to do a trackback ping on that blog posting interface itself. No, I don't spam other's trackbacks but I do like to link to people especially when they say it a lot better than I do ;-)

But anyway, I tested with WordPress's post to future feature. Which they don't call forward posting or future post they call it an awfully ambigous name - Edit Timestamp. I initially thought this was well... edit timestamp but it really is forward posting. I wanted to know if the forward posting will also automatically ping the sites I want to ping, in this case, pingomatic and my test results are... yes!

Wow was I ever glad! This means I can set aside one day of my week to do nothing but enter blog posts, forward post them one day a time and I'll have fresh content everyday of the week AND pinged. Talk about automation... Nice... now pardon me as I have to go ping this manually *grumbles*
