February 25, 2006 at 8:44PM WTF is up with my PotB and IrishBlogs.ie listing?!

The Planet of the Blogs cache of my site hasn’t been updated in a fortnight, and my blog’s disappeared from Irish Blogs. WTF?!

Update: Irish Blogs does (kinda) list it, but the search form is horribly broken. I’d expect it to search by blog title too, but it doesn’t. That’s pretty retarded. I’m pissed at both right now because the ping interface is documented for neither of them. Bloody hell! I’m hoping this is just down to my feed having some dodgy characters in it or something, but even the shouldn’t their parsers be liberal enough to chew through all that kind of thing?

Ah-ha! It appears all the trouble was down to a stray degrees character, so apologies to the PotB crowd. Still pissed that the ping interface doesn’t appear to be documented, but anyway...

What exactly do you need to know about it?

The URI to ping is http://planetoftheblogs.com/xml-rpc.php. It follows the normal weblogupdates.ping spec.

All form information is optional, but it’s a good idea to fill in your name and email address if you want me to take your comment seriously.

Spammers, don’t bother posting crap down here. The site is set up so that legitimate search engines (Google, for instance) won’t index pages with comments on them. Posting crud here only means you’re wasting my time and patience. Shoo!
