If all the nodes on my site that I want to ping are the same as what's in my RSS feed, then do I even need to set the % params in the URL field? Can I just check off my node types in the box?

I've been reading up on the URL construction and that confuses me a little, also why I'm wondering if it's just easier to set the node types and be done with it.

For example, Googles ping is http://blogsearch.google.com/ping/RPC2 and their sample URL is http://blogsearch.google.com/ping?name=Official+Google+Blog&url=http%3A%...

So would the URL construction be like:
http://blogsearch.google.com/ping?name=%name&url=%url&changesURL=%rss

?

Thanks.

Sorry if the above question seems like a two in one, but I guess I'm mostly wondering what's better, pinging the nodes or the site's rss?

Never mind. I now understand. Yeah, the ping will go off when each content type is created, but if your site's rss contains ONLY feeds from *content type a* and you don't want *content type c* to be run through the query everytime the multiping module kicks in, you would select particular content types to check for. Got it. I figured it out when a HUGE query ran because it was checking for new creation of ALL the nodes, regardless of content type. My boss panicked and i set it to check for only the blog nodes. Thanks again, great work.
