Weblogs Ping Plugin - blojsom 3.0 - Confluence

Description

This plugin sends a "ping" to weblog update notification services when you update your blog. This would happen, for example, when you add, edit, or delete blog entries.

The ping is sent via XML-RPC according to the weblogs.com ping XML-RPC specification and the extended ping XML-RPC specification. The plugin will first try the extended ping and if it fails, it will try the normal ping.
