I am creating a blog using blog 4 umbraco and I was wondering how I can get it to auto ping technorati? Here is what they say to do, and it has to do with XML and I am not the best with that, if anyone can come up with some code to do this I would greatly appreciate it. click me
thanks I alwasy come here first so that I can actually talk to people instead of look on google, I installed the package but I dont know what to do with it...Is there a macro that goes in the header to ping out or once I install it is it ready to run or what?
EDIT:
I think I may have figured it out, I found the config file I can add ping sites to, so when I installed the package it should automatically work and ping those sites, I dont have to add any macro or anything do i?

Right, it hooks into the 'publish' event of the blog post to send out the ping. So, whatever endpoints you have set up will get notified.
Glad you found it and got it working so quickly!
