Damn, it has sure been a while... I just realized today that it's been 18 months
since I went out with a special lady       last, but I'm pretty happy to be
heading out tonight. I've had a bit of trouble finding ANY decent women lately
so I joined up at this place a couple of weeks ago
http://www.browsethepictures.info/rmcc . And   so far been doing pretty well,
just chatting to a few girls near me on Webcam and via the mail system on the
place, but this is the first one I've lined up. So anyway, wish me luck guys!!

Well I just got engaged! I can't believe it,       just last year I was
beginning to think i would never meet anyone. I'm 25 already and I thought it
was all over. After some recommendations from a buddy I joined up here:
http://www.lookieherenow.info/podp and after 2 weeks I was already meeting up
with a beauty. Well, 14 months later and where still together and planning our
marriage for later this year        =)

sure, here is a working java class that pings weblogs.

Andy, the length of this message is 205, I would put
the contents in a StringBuffer or String, then get the
length, use this variable in the "Content-lengh" field
of the header.

Andy, can you post the exact request you are sending,
typically I have seen this error when you send the
wrong content length (are you sure the length is 250?)

I just can't figure out the error. I'm setting the Content-Type to
'text/xml' and Content-length to 250 and the url of my blog also
contains http://. Please suggest me a solution.

I love blogs. Not only creating them, but also reading those created by others.

I have several, but my main blog, Bobbi Jo Online is located at www.bjsalas.com . Check it out it you want and let me know what you think.

http://infrablog.verisignlabs.com/2005/10/weblogscom_cutover_1.html

When I pinged Weblogs today I got an "cant find weblogs table" error.
Anybody know how to handle it ?

Refinance your home now, take 30 seconds and fill out this free form.

I tried whats in the docs for soap and when I do a soap request it
gets a 302 moved to /var/www/html, if I follow that I get a 404 file
not found.


for rpc, even weirder I get:
     <value>Can't accept the ping because the URL must begin with
http://.</value>


(I cut and pasted the example from the rpc directions)


any ideas for these?

thanks in advance
Joel

I have two blogs, which I contribute to when the mood strikes me. One
is a about a fictional character called Alvis Gogwecker, who has come
to the big city from a small town called Hootin Holler in a nearby
unknown state. The other is my view of things that strike me a bit odd,
peculiar, or funny. They are at:

Please feel free to share them.

Hi Jess,

Just do a search at Yahoo or Google about Blogs and
you'll find millions of reasons you're looking for.

Web Blogs
A blog is a personal diary. A daily pulpit. A collaborative space. A
political soapbox. A breaking-news outlet. A collection of links. Your
own private thoughts. Memos to the world.
Your blog is whatever you want it to be. There are millions of them,
in all shapes and sizes, and there are no real rules.
In simple terms, a blog is a web site, where you write stuff on an
ongoing basis. New stuff shows up at the top, so your visitors can
read what's new. Then they comment on it or link to it or email you.
Or not.
Since Blogger was launched, almost five years ago, blogs have reshaped
the web, impacted politics, shaken up journalism, and enabled millions
of people to have a voice and connect with others.

Hello,

I noticed a couple of weeks ago that sometimes I couldn't access
the update record on http://www.weblogs.com for the blogger weblog at
http://www.linksmultiple.co.uk/15.html but the update record did
appear when
viewing the xml version at http://www.weblogs.com/changes.xml
although
periodically it did seem to hide behind a password so was
inaccessible.

That problem seems to have gone away now so I guess whatever
weblogs.com did on 20 April with moving stuff to Apache has worked OK.

Did anyone else have the same problem and if so is it fixed for you
too?

I am using the MT system with my own domain name.  I have marked
the "ping these sites" in Preferences, so whenever I update my blog,
the weblogs.com is pinged.

It worked alright for a good two years up to two weeks ago.  Since
March 20th, I see that the pings go through with the MT, but my
position in the weblogs of the people who have linked to me is not
updated.  It seems like when the script is renewed, my weblog is not
marked "updated".  One of my friends has not gotten an update from
me since March 17th (I made an update today).  Another one of my
friends who has links to me actually now has TWO links showing up on
his blogrolling, but none updated.

What is the problem?

My weblog is www.vishistorica.com

Thanks everyone

Hello,
I am new to the blog world. First question: How do you 'ping' a site
like google or weblogs?

I went to a website to 'verify' my rss feeds and it gave me some type
of line errors. Can someone help? Please respond via email.
thanks.

Here is my new blog site:

http://vaifan.myblogsite.com/blog

I tried connecting to the changes.xml and also shortchanges.xml and I
couldn't seem to get a connection to either through my RSS reader in
thunderbird.  I d/l another RSS reader to see if it was thunderbird,
and  it didn't work either.  On shortchanges.xml, it seems to be a
valid XML file(in my browser) but it simply won't get picked up.
Anyone else having these issues?

Hi,

I'm very new to blogs and such! I have started a blog which is called
Abundant Buddha. I read an article by Rick Butts about blog and ping
and a site called Ping o matic. I have tried to use the site but have
been identified as a ping spammer. Please could someone suggest what
to do in this case, I don't think I am a spammer!

thanks

hello all,
i'm a student of cs and currently i'm doing my final project. that is
a Weblog site for my university. i've gathered some information about
what weblog is how to use it and what's its purpose. so may say that
i dont have any previous knowledge about weblogs. my project is to
develop a weblog site that mantains the users' blogs added in the
form of RSS feeds just as my yahoo, and also gives the option to
publish our own blogs. currently im in a studying phase and im
gathering information about it. i've come to know about XML-RPC ping
that's used with weblogs but i don't know what it is for. so i want
you guys to plz help me out to understand it and how it can be useful
for my project. moreover i'd love to read your suggestions if you
inform me with.

Regards,
Mariyam Naveed

It looks like weblogs.com is down. Any ETA for being back up? Is
anyone out there?

hello
Pick a new template again and do customization, after u finish save
template changes and publish your entire blog to see the changes.
hope this helps.
