Following hot on the heals of the toadstool post where I first talked about the new XML-RPC features and the lagging behind post where I first moaned about not having them. Logicfury the software my blog runs on now supports pingbacks.
Primarily I use the one ping to ping them all service Pingomatic to dish out my pings also coupled up with a few default ones just to be sure.
Have a Slicehost hosted site? Come and steal this button!
What's this all about then? A couple of weeks ago Summer Daze was stealthily moved to a new VPS server. My previous host, JaguarPC, turned out to be not as wonderful as I had hoped, well less than wonderful and more of poor to be fair. Slicehost however are (currently) amazing me with their service. So what's so special about it? Well, nothing to be perfectly honest. It simply does as it claims for once and does it well. A decent VPS for a fair price that you get to customise and setup to your hearts content. A web developers nirvana in other words, well server wise anyway. My actual vision of nirvana has less servers and more girls
Isn't it great? There was a time when my blog was lagging behind in terms of all this new XML-RPC stuff (a fancy word for being able to post to my blog from various sources and perform a few other tricks). Now I can select one of my pictures from Flickr, hit the blog this button and here is where it all ends up, no messing about.
