MovableBlog: Stop Spam-pinging

May 11, 2002

philringnalda.com: Stop spam-pinging - a great idea. Like today, when I found out there was a typo in an old post. Making the change pinged weblogs.com, but people coming in from there would not have seen any 'new' content on my front page. (Aside: the way I found out about the typo was kinda funny. A searcher misspelled "lottery" and actually found "lotery" in my post, which prompted the change.)

Note that this requires hacking the actual executable code of MT, which means you should back up your copy before doing so.
