Techstacks Tools September 2010 Site Update
I just updated the techstacks tools site. Below is a summary of changes.
Site Wide Changes
- Site updated to run on Gaelyk 0.4.4
- Site updated to run with Google App Engine/Java 1.3.7
- Cleaned up some HTML. Site is still ugly but I'm slowing changing the look and feel here to match my other techstacks sites.
BadUrlChk Changes:
- Added two additional URL checks. Site now checks the same URLs that CryptoNark checks.
Bling Changes:
- Removed the Moreover XMLRPC ping. Moreover retired the rpc.moreover.com endpoint, folding it into the rpc.weblogs.com endpoint.
- Removed, perhaps temporarily, BlogCatalog's RPC endpoint. This one has been failing for a while. Returns a 500 - Server Error whenever I try to POST to it.
- Added NewsGator. Although the result says that the Ping Failed, the ping doesn't actually fail. NewsGator is returning results back in a different XML format from the rest of the services.
- Fixed the bling.groovy script. For some wacky reason, I had been setting the blogURL parameter twice in the request.
SMPing Changes:
- Removed Moreover's sitemap ping service. It appears as if moreover retired this particular ping service. SMPing now autopings 4 different search engines simultaneously.
