Misconception about pinging every 30 mins
Posted by  vinson at 8:53 am
P.S. All members
I would just like to point out a misconception that some of our members have, that is Autopinger is pinging for you every 30 mins. Now, this is not true!
Let me explain it here. Basically Autopinger caches your feed like Feedburner does and it compares your caches your feed and compare it to the one every 30 mins when Autopinger crawls your site. If there is an increase in the number of posts, it detects that you have updated your content and will go ahead and ping your blog for you. If it is still the same, it will be marked as last checked. We may want to review our 30 mins interval and raise it to 45 mins but this isn't firm yet. I will blog about this if there is a change.

The items of my blog is zero or my blog is not pinged
Posted by vinson at 12:29 pm
If you do come across this when you check your blog ping history, this is caused by autopinger being unable to read your rss/atom feed. Why? Some of the blog template default your rss feed as a relative path like "/rss/feed" instead of "http://yourblog.com/rss/feed/". This is important as autopinger needs to read your rss feed in order to determine if you have updated your blog.
Therefore, when you add a new blog to autopinger, you can select to enter your full path of the rss/atom feed to ensure autopinger is able to access it. Hope this helps :-)

Error in getting your blog info
Posted by vinson at 7:23 am
If you are seeing an empty message box which seems like an error when you click on your blog info, don't be panic, there is nothing wrong! Why? As we are using the Technorati API to provide that data of your blog(s), our quota for daily queries has been used very fast and we have send this feedback to Technorati asking for an increase in daily queries per day and let's wait for their reply. Meanwhile, hang in there and ping on!

Common errors
Posted by vinson at 6:24 pm
Error: This site is not valid or the server is down. Please try another blog url.
Reason: The URL that you have entered points to an invalid URL or the site is down.
Error: Your blog has no title or it's stated as ""Untitled Page"". Autopinger suggests that you put a blog title and this would help others to find your blog easily :-)
Reason: Your blog pages may have a title tag as "Untitled Page" and this is not recommended or your blog is missing the <title>Your blog title</title> tag.
Error: Autopinger cannot find your rss/atom feed.
Reason: Your blog does not have rss declaration like <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Official Autopinger Blog" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/autopinger" />
