Setting Up RSS and Ping For My blog

Hi everyone,

I have a couple of blogs. But I'm not sure what I should be doing about RSS feeds and pinging. I've heard a lot here lately about this, and I'm aout of my depth!

Each of my new posts has the "allow pings" box checked. So is that all I need to do as far as "pinging" goes, or am I missing something?

And are there 2 or 3 sites I should be submitting my RSS feed to? Which ones? I'm a little lost...

    as far as I know your blog should automatically pinging and you have nothing else to worry about.

    however if you rely on "pinging" to bring traffic you are crazy, go promote your stuff

      I'm not relying on pinging to bring in traffic. I currently do everything *but* this, and I'm making sure that I'm not missing an opportunity.

      I'd still like to know if I should be submitting my blog's rss feeds to anywhere in particular...

    I ping a number of services here's my list... Woops I can't post the list. Sorry.

    Would appreciate any additions or deletions?!

    There are several directories you can submit your RSS feed to, just search on Google for 'RSS Directories' or 'Submit RSS feed' etc.

    RSS Mountain is a good place to start.

    What blog software are you using? *Sometimes* you have to install a plug-in.
