No, I’m not Shakespeare, nor will I ever be! I’ll leave that part to Donna, although I am writing more these days.

A question that I’m often asked is where we should be manually pinging our blogs. And my usual answer is no, we don’t need to go out and manually ping each blog site. But what we do need to do is provide a ping list in our Blog Settings. That’s not all we need to do to make this process automatic – we should also install a plugin that will prevent you from pinging every time you edit a post, which will get you banned from the ping services – not good. Pinging will often result in backlinks – which is good!

The plugin that I use is free, and it’s called MaxBlogPress Ping Optimizer Plugin – you can just go to their download site, download it, install it, activate and register it with them. So in exchange for your email you get a great Ping Optimizer.

Now, let me give you my ping list. To included this in your blog, go to your Dashboard, Settings, Writing, then scroll down to the bottom, and just paste it in. If you have any sites you’d like to see included – please, let me know!
