I have no idea. I think https://blo.gs has some kind of updated blogs list, but I don’t know how you’d use it. Blogger has one (https://www.blogger.com/changes.xml) but I think it’s only for Blogspot blogs.

It would be great if pingomatic ran one since WordPress pings “pingomatically”.

> I guess if I use the plugin, I won’t need to run the cron job, correct? If all of this is correct, I’ll write a post to elaborate to the best of my knowledge.

No you won’t, but the plug-in will slow down your site (that is, it seemed to slow mine down).

The plugin runs links-update-xml.php every time someone hits your page so you’re running it more often than you need to if you have a lot of traffic (or not often enough to catch the updates if you don’t have a lot of traffic).

/path/to/binaries/php /path/to/my/public/directory
/wordpress/wp-includes/links-update-xml.php

set to run hourly.

Note: https://www.weblogs.com/changes.xml (and consequently https://static.www.ads-software.com/changes.xml) has been flaky lately, exacerbating performance problems.

I’ve noticed a big performance increase since I set up a cron job to run links-update-xml.php. I think the alternate means of running it are only for those who can’t use cron.

A Google search for “powered by WordPress 1.5” currently produces 96,700 hits. That’s one heck of a lot of “testblogs”.

So is there an alternate xml file somewhere we can use? I looked on ping-omatic but I couldn’t find one.

I am patient. It’s just that there’s seems to be some confusion between this and the password email formatting problem, which evidently *has* been fixed.
It’s a trivial problem; more of an annoyance really.

That was me. I wish the was a warning when I do that.

Yes, kudos to all the developers.

Just call them “Pages”. Calling them “Static” is very confusing, especially since the the staticize plugin is being packaged with the nightlies.

I do like his interface ideas, though. And, to be fair, he’s reviewing “Entry Page Design,” not the whole program.
But then again, I like “Queer Eye”.

Are we playing word association?

Only if you have a backup:

I don’t see how that can happen. They’re not really “static” pages; they’re served out of the database like everything else. See: https://www.ads-software.com/support/6/12596
I think the power will come from putting code in the is_page handler, not in the page itself.

The developers are coding this feature into 1.3, if you can wait for that.
