  Hello all. I have recently started a blog and today I linked something to a corporate website. I deleted this hyperlink deciding that it wasn’t of proper use. Will that corporation receive a ping from my post, even though I have deleted the hyperlink? Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  If your deleted the link prior to publishing the post the answer is no.

  Well I deleted the link after publishing and then edited it with the corrections. I then deleted the item in question. The item was posted for around 7 minutes.

  If you had not disabled pings then the pingback was sent. Read more on pingbacks here. http://en.support.wordpress.com/comments/pingbacks/

  Basically the item was a picture. But the picture was part of a press release. Can it still be used? Or was taking it down and deleting the link the correct thing to do?

  I don’t know if the copyright holder provided the terms of use that allowed you to post the image or not.
