Question about Feedwordpress and Pinging

[moveup07]

Hi all,

I am still quite new to blogging and have just begun to use wordpress instead of thumblogger mainly so I can host it all myself. Most of them are handwritten, but I have a few that use some of the rare good sponsor RSS feeds that I go back to and modify a bit to make sure my keywords and stuff are evenly spread throughout the posts.

I know that when you manually write a post using WP that it will automatically ping all the services you list in that box when you "publish" it - my question is that when using feedwordpress does this ping still happen when a post is pushed out or should I manually ping them myself? Thanks in advance for any help

It looks like it does moveup07. This is from the site: Feed Updates using XML-RPC

FeedWordPress also allows syndicated blogs to notify you of updates using the XML-RPC “recently updated” pings (in the standard format accepted by Weblogs.com, Ping-O-Matic, Technorati, and other blogging services). Most blogging software allows users to add a URI to the list of URIs that get pinged with each new update — see, for example, Options –> Writing –> Update Services in WordPress, or Configuration –> Preferences –> Publicity / Remote Interfaces / TrackBack in Movable Type. If you can get a contributor to add your XML-RPC URI to her list of update services to ping, then whenever she updates her blog, her blogging software will notify your FeedWordPress installation, and FeedWordPress will look up her feed to grab the new posts off of it. (If you have WordPress installed at http://www.zyx.com/blog, say, the URI for her to ping should be http://www.zyx.com/blog/xmlrpc.php).
