FeedBurner Not Getting Pinged

Posted on October 5th, 2008 by admin in Domain News | 2 Comments »

In the last couple of weeks I noticed something strange about my blog – every time I wrote a new post I had to manually go to FeedBurner.com and ping my blog feed in order for it to get updated – my blog RSS feed was not getting updated automatically even after 30 minutes.

As I hadn’t changed any of my blog configuration I assumed the list of ping services under my blog admin Settings -> Writing contained a reference to the Feedburner ping service as it was getting pinged in the past.

Well, today I got tired of manually pinging my feed via FeedBurner “troubleshootize” options so I checked my Settings -> Writing and lo and behold the Update Services list did not contain any reference to a FeedBurner ping service. It did contain a reference to the Pingomatic service so I assume this is what was updating FeedBurner in the past – but perhaps Pingomatic has stopped working?

Anyways, I updated my Update Services with a new list and now my FeedBurner feed is getting pinged and updated automatically.

Here is the list of update services I use now ( I got them from WordPress codex ) :
