I finished my first iteration of an RSS feed. It was my first attempt and the only thing that does not validate is the date. But whatever, if Technorati doesn’t validate then I don’t have to.
After this I was trying to research how to send out XML-RPC pings to let blog directories know that I exist. Needless to say it’s a bit more complicated than I care to spend a large amount of time on. Eventually after reading lots of documentation I stumbled upon this article by Marjolein Hoekstra at MasterNewMedia. I decided to start using Ping-o-Matic instead of trying to automate it myself. It’s easy enough that I could even create a link in my admin section to automatically ping a bunch of directories at will.
In other news, Technorati went down just as I was fiddling with that. Techcrunch has a witty comment on it.
