Ping Server Services


Frequently Asked Questions

What is Weblogs.com?

Weblogs.com is a Web application that provides ping-server services. Weblogs.com is a resource for the notification of blog updates and Internet content publishing. The core function of Weblogs.com is to provide a list of blogs that have changed. This information is also available in XML format.

Will VeriSign continue to make Weblogs.com freely available?

The Weblogs.com ping server will continue as an openly available service, greatly benefiting the entire blog community, from individual blog publishers to value-added feed applications such as blog search engines.

How can I configure my blogging software to call Weblogs.com?

Most major blogging tools already are configured to call Weblogs.com. However, you may also view instructions on doing this manually on the Weblogs.com site.

Weblogs.com must be told when your Web log changes. It doesn't automatically check for changes on a regular schedule. However, if you use a blogging tool or content management system, it can be programmed to tell Weblogs.com about the change. Many tools and utilities, such as Web log search engines, have been programmed to communicate directly with Weblogs.com to receive notification of these changes. Such tools will then visit your Web log to harvest the information.
