I have installed Drupal 6.1 at the following site.

Latest football news

I like to ping to Google blog ping and Pingomatic as Wordpress each time I post a new post or do correction.

How do I do that?

thanks

investigate the services.module it may be of some help

if google and pingomatic aren't included in that module you may have to file a feature request, create a patch, or write a custom.module

also of note: you should be using Drupal 6.2, 6.1 has publicly known security issues that have since been patched. Not updating could wreck your site and your hard work. Don't learn the hard way.

Thanks

I have updated to 6.2.

It says "Ping 6.2 Alerts other sites when your site has been updated."

What other sites? It is a bit vague. Does it ping to technorati, google ping etc...?

When I check service.module , it is not for Drupal version 6?

What should I do now to ping to technorati, google ping and pingomatic whenever new post is done.

thanks

Yes, but I can only see version 5 and not version 6.

It also says it requires cron job which as far as I know only updates at set time and not after each post.

teh documentation is relevant even though its tagged Drupal 5.x as the ping module hasn't changed.

Cronjobs can be set up to run whenever you want them to. ie every 10 mins every 15 so on so forth. Thats how the ping module works by cron, it won't update after every single post, its stores them then sends at cron time.

In a previous comment I directed you to the services module, I actually meant the service links.module which may be worth your time investigating.
