Jeremy pointed out a method to ping Yahoo RSS crawler for Moveable Type blogs and he did a great job explaining it with pictures. So if you are using MT, check out his entry. I consequently wrote a little pinger for WordPress which does the same thing. Add this function to your my-hacks.php: // pings Yahoo.com RSS Crawler function pingYahoo($blog_ID = 1) { // original function by Dries Buytaert for Drupal global $blogname,$siteurl,$blogfilename; if ((!(($blogname==”my weblog”) && ($siteurl==”http://example.com”) && ($blogfilename==”wp.php”))) && (!preg_match(“/localhost\//”,$siteurl))) { $client = new xmlrpc_client(“/RPC2”, “api.my.yahoo.com”, 80); $message = new xmlrpcmsg(“weblogUpdates.ping”, array(new xmlrpcval($blogname), new xmlrpcval($siteurl.”/”.$blogfilename))); $result = $client->send($message); if (!$result || $result->faultCode()) { return false; } return true; } else { return false; } } Find these lines in your post.php (inside wp-admin folder) : pingWeblogs($blog_ID); pingBlogs($blog_ID); And add this right after that: pingYahoo($blog_ID); All done and pingin!

WordPress Hack

I wrote a little script to fight comment SPAM much along the lines of Jay Allen’s MTBlacklist filter (but for WordPress). This really simple script is compatible with all versions of WordPress and uses a powerful master blacklist from Reflective Reality. I would really like to get some people to try and install it and see how well it works. So if you are using WordPress and have been receiving some SPAM in your comments, please help me in testing this script. WordPress 1.0+ will even allow you to view the SPAM comments without them ever being displayed on your blog (using moderation) which would mean that if you do receive SPAM and the filter catches it, you will know that the script is working. Here is a link to WPBlacklist.
