How to ping the blog crawling services?

Some blogging software come with an option for you to set the URLs of the blog crawler services. For example Wordpress in the screen captured above (Under Options-Writing-Update Services). If you know all the available URLs for the blog crawling services, you can add in one by one here. When you add a new post, your wordpress will notify all these services.

For the public blogging service providers, such as Blogger, it also has an option whether you need to notify Weblogs, when you are adding a new post, as shown in the screen below (under Settings->Publishing).

I do NOT cover how other blogging software or blog service providers do for the "ping". Perhaps in my future posts, I will! If you found finding and adding URLs of crawling services under Wordpress is too troublesome or pinging 1 service only under Blogger is insufficient (You are too greedy, you wanna tell the whole world about your update), then you can use any of the publically available "online pinging tool" such as Pingoat or Ping-o-metic! These 2 websites allow you to select a handful of the services that you want your blog to notify!
