Due to popular demand, here is the function to ping the PubSub RSS crawler from WordPress. (MT follows)
Add this function to your my-hacks.php:

// pings PubSub.com RSS Crawler
function pingPubSub($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(”/ping”, “xping.pubsub.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:
pingPubSub($blog_ID);

All done and pingin (in WordPress)!

From Moveable Type:
From your main blog admin, click on Weblog config on the left hand column and then preferences on top (next to core setup).
Click on Publicity/Remote Interfaces/Trackback in the main list that shows on the page.
In the text area that follows, add this line:
http://xping.pubsub.com/ping

Thats it!
