Hey! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it tough to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Many thanks

Thanks for the advice on using manual pinging. I use Pingoat though.

Why don’t you submit the bug to the WordPress people?

It’ll never get fixed unless you report it.

hi Court

do you know, does WordPress ping pages as well, or posts only?

and for this your post, I’m sure you already know about this great plugin http://www.maxblogpress.com/plugins/mpo/

I don’t think timezone matters nearly as much as when you post.

The short answer is that it depends on where your readership is (or, perhaps, where you’d like it to be).

The point of this article, of course, is that setting a timestamp on your posts in the future doesn’t actually initiate a ping at the scheduled time, so you either have to do so manually or post immediately after you write. It doesn’t have anything to do with timezones as a blog setting. Court is simply advising us to be mindful of our readers and their consumption patterns.
