pings
i *really* hate it when pings fail.
which leads me to wonder – how many of you rely on blogrolls to tell you if a blog has actually updated? or do you actually check?
there are some great blogs – like invisible shoebox – that don’t seem to ping (so they never show as “recently updated”). would be a shame if people pay less attention to them because of a reliance on automation (probably an accurate measure of the cultural effect of computing somewhere in there) …

I rely on blogroll when busy, check when less busy — probably check all of ’em every week and a half or so.
Maybe alter the mt.cfg file so that we don’t get timeout errors when pinging the “central office” that lets others know when we’ve updated.

Glad to know that blogs get checked despite blogroller, but I do find it interesting that the ability to ping (something blogger doesn’t have, I don’t think?) does create a hierarchy among blogs.
George, I’ll look to update mt.cfg…
Looks like you fixed it! Nicely done.
Yep, changing text files is tough work 🙂
But yes, I *think* it might be better… please let me know if you still timeout as much as you did before.
