Added Ping XML-RPC component for Joomla to backend

I’m a big fan of Technorati, and since Joomla doesn’t natively support pings, today I went looking for an extension to add the functionality.

After a quick search, I came across Weblog Ping on the Joomla Extensions Directory.  Installation went flawlessly.  It does exactly what it claims, which is support Ping XML-RPC.  You can add as many Ping servers as you need from a text box in the administrator Component, Ping, Servers menu.  Then whenever you need a ping, you simply run Ping from the administrator component menu.

All in all, a compact, to the point, utilitarian component. Exactly what I like.

Now the RainSoft letters site has Ping functioning as it should.
