blogpingr: ping your blog to get indexed and drive traffic

I was looking for a blog pinger desktop or console program for Linux, but I didn't find any. So I decide to write one, for easy pinging blog update services.
I wrote simple program before some days. The program is in Python and pings many xml-rpc blog indexing services. I put it on sourceforge.

blogpingr project

Download or Direct download blogpingr-0.1.0

How to install it:
1. Download the program.
2. Extract files
tar -zxvf blogpingr-0.1.0
3. Install it as root
cd blogpingr-0.1.0
python setup.py install

How to use it:
1. Just execute the following command (change your blog name and URL)

blogpingr http://poisonerbg.blogspot.com/ "PoisoneR's Blog"

You will see similar output:
[20:37:40][poisoner@oTpoBa] ~ $ blogpingr http://poisonerbg.blogspot.com/ "PoisoneR's Blog"
* Pinging PoisoneR's Blog http://poisonerbg.blogspot.com/

and that's all. You will ping all services listed in /etc/blogpinr.conf.

You can make allias for shortert command. Add following line in your ~/.bashrc

alias pingmyblog="blogpingr http://poisonerbg.blogspot.com/ \"PoisoneR's Weblog\""

And when you add new post in your blog just type:

pingmyblog

If you have any problems or features request, post comments here or in project page at sourceforge.
