BlogPing Pro is a cool little Joomla plugin that automatically pings update-servers when you save an article. All you need to do is sit back and let the BlogPing Pro take care of everything for you. With this plugin you no longer have to stick with Wordpress and other blog plattforms. This is the missing link between Joomla and Wordpress.

The Pro version has added support for scheduled publishing of articles.

What is a ping?

A ping is basically a special type of message sent to a ping-server to make the server aware that your site has added new content. The updateserver will then list your article automatically to it's blogpost listings, and you'll hopefully experience more traffic to your website.

This makes it possible to ping update services whenever you create a new article in a certain section. You can specify as many update services as you like, but we recommend that you stick to about 10 services to not slow down your article creating. If you don't know what ping is, then you really missed something. This is something that almost every blogging plattform uses. A ping i basically a shout out to an update server, that your site has fresh content.

What's new in version 2.0?

The code of BlogPingPro 2.0 is completelly rewritten for improved performance and better feedback after each ping. After each call to an update server, the plugin will now show you how it went, how it can be improved or if the update server no longer exists.

This new version will also try to send an extended ping to every server, and if it fails try a regular ping instead. There are also some new settings to tweak the plugin.

    Hi Mark,

    This version (BlogPing Pro) is only for native Joomla, but I've also made a version that works with the blog extensions K2 and Zoo.

    My personal favourite Blog extension is K2, which will have all the features you need for a blog extension. The K2 version of BlogPing is available here:

    and K2 is available for free here:

    Can you recommend a blog extension for Joomla which your blogping works well with?

    Can you recommend an email list extension which blogping would work well with? My list is approximately 20,000 emails.

    Thank you

    Hi,

    Ping.fm was a really good idea, and if you promise to buy the plugin for 30 Euro, I promise to make the plugin within 2 days :)

    Hello, your project blogping and very good, but I do not know if ping.fm would be great if your program did BlogPing ping ping.fm so promote this service articles on social networks automatically.

    P.S.
    I imagine that your users would pay 30 euros for a happily plugin with these features

    Hi Fatima,

    The BlogPing Plugin is NOT an extension for blogging, it is a tool for Joomla that makes joomla ping like blog platforms. BlogPing sends out a signal to different server to tell them that your site has new content.

    Hi Daniel,

    I downloaded your blog plugin and enabled it but it doesn't seem to appear anywhere on my site...? I want it to appear on the homepage/front page.

    Also, where do I go to if I want to add or edit a blog?

    Tack sa mycket for din hjalp!

    Fatima
