You would have to talk with the Yahoo developers to see where that could be headed. I am just a puny student. I really have no experience with Typepad and I would be lying if I told you I knew how to solve the problem.
However, if you have access to the Typepad source code, I could try to whip something up for you.

It may be possible with Moveable Type ,but it is impossible with Typepad. even typepad pro. i asked support and they confirmed it. any chance Yahoo could speak directly to Typepad and get some movement on this issue?

THanks

You dont really need to change it in all those places, unless you use email blogging frequently. The ping will work fine in one place inside post.php. xmlrpc.php does not exist in 1.0 and above. It has been replaced by class-xmlrpc.php. In addition, no change needs to be made to class-xmlrpc.php. (If I am wrong, please point out for everyone’s benefit)
To address the notify everyone who cares issue, you could just do as Matt said:

With 1.01 you could just add:

add_filter(’action_publish_post’, ‘pingYahoo’);

to your my-hacks.php.

Worth noting that there’s actually 3 places in post.php which need changing, as well as locations in xmlrpc.php in the root folder, and wp-mail.php. Bit hacky, should really be some global place which says “notify everyone who cares” and then call each of the pingXYZ() functions from there, and everywhere which needs to notify things just calls that one function.
