# Ping Pong to Weblogs Dot Com

<a href="http://simon.incutio.com/archive/2003/03/09/aPleaForPings" target="_top">Simon Willison writes</a>
that he'd read my blog more if I
<a href="http://newhome.weblogs.com/faq#howCanMyWeblogParticipateInWeblogscom" target="_top">pinged weblogs.com</a>
more often.  I used to, via <a href="http://www.decafbad.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/MovableType">MovableType</a>, but my new blog doesn't.  Enter
<a href="http://www.raelity.org/apps/blosxom/plugins/notification/ping_weblogs_com.individual" target="_top">ping_weblogs_com</a>,
a <a href="http://www.raelity.org/apps/blosxom/" target="_top">Blosxom</a> plugin to ping weblogs.com.  I've
just installed it.
<br /><br />
Let's see if he notices.  :)
