WordPress Writing Settings: Update Services

 

I noticed recently that my Apache Error Log contained lots of local client errors.

Like this…

[Wed Feb 13 12:03:12 2013] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /var/www/html/pinger
[Wed Feb 13 12:03:12 2013] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /var/www/html/404.shtml

I did a quick Google search and it would appear that the problem is down to the Update Services that i have enabled in Settings > Writing

I manually checked all the services i had enabled to ping on writing posts and 90% of them were offline.

I did a bit of research and came across the best ping services that i could find to ensure my posts get maximum exposure on all my blogs.
