Weblog Pinger Built-in to Greymatter
The Weblog aggregator at Weblogs.com changed it’s method of polling RSS files for updates in October, 2001. In order to quickly patch Greymatter to notify the Weblogs.com system, I took Aaron’s Bookmarklet for notification and tossed it into GreyMatter’s main script ‘gm.cgi’. The end result is that after I’ve added a new entry, I have a button I can use to notify Weblogs.com to come see my RSS file.
I’ve made a modification to the Greymatter main script. I’ve built a page that explains the procedure. It’s quite simple, simply a change to one line in the gm.cgi script.
Enjoy!
