i am continuing a former thread here.

a quick hack to ping weblogs.com is now running at hopdev for every updated public weblog: if a story was updated in between a certain period (currently 10 minutes as experimental value) AND the weblog was not ping'd in between this period, weblogs.com will receive the title and url of the weblog via get method (ie. url-based).

this method seems to be pretty slow (which is caused by the huge userland html output returned from getURL function, imho) and eventually we do have to use xml-rpc for this task.

it also might be necessary to add a checkbox to the preferences to toggle participation with weblogs.com.

i am thankful for more suggestions how to do this right.

i just downloaded the lates version and i have an error:   [HopMacro error: java.lang.RuntimeException: Error retrieving Node: Column name: READS does not exist!]
