Pings and notifications
-
How can I configure my blog to automatically ping Technorati when I post new content?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Actually if this is the blog you are talking about, http://boltedbionicwoman.wordpress.com/ , then wordpress automatically pings all major search engines and services, including technorati, when you publish a new post. WordPress does not ping for pages, only posts.

I have created a PRIVATE wordpress blog. I am looking out for a way to set automatic email updates for new posts/comments. While I used blogger there was a email blogsend option available. I do not find this anywhere in wordpress :(
I have created a PRIVATE googlegroup account to receive email updates on new posts/comments. Is there a way I could link this to my wordpress blog to receive updates.
Please kindly let me know the available options
Thanks

WordPress.COM has no email list type of thing, and rely on feedburner’s email subscription service, but it will not work for blogs set to private. Feedburner pulls information off of your RSS feed to determine when to send out email notifications, and a private blog cannot have an RSS feed. The reason it cannot have an RSS feed is that the people involved in the the RSS standards cannot agree on a way to protect feeds for private or membership only blogs.

Is it possible to create a group or change the admin address to the google group? I really need a way to send email updates.
-
If the google group has an email address, then it might be possible, but do realize that if you do that, any confidential correspondence from wordpress staff will end up posted to the google group as well.
Why not set up an email group in your email program and then when you create a new post, email to that group?
-
Could you kindly refer me to any links on how i could set this email program and how to use it for notifications. Thanks so much for your help.
-
In your email program, go to the help section and type in “group” or “email group” and it should walk you through creating a group.

Did you add all the email addresses from the people you wanted to keep in touch with on this?

I need to know if wordpress has weblog tool’s for configuration for Pings and Notifications
-
WordPress automatically pings all major search engines and services for you whenever you publish a post.
For email notification, use feedburner: http://support.wordpress.com/email-subscriptions/ .

The whole discussion about private blogs and email notification is one that many, many people on wp.com are concerned about. Its noted (above) that the issue revolves around RSS standards. Is there any timeframe for a resolution?
-
As far as I’m aware, staff have no intention of changing things. You may wish to request it via the Contact Support page.

Talk to the RSS feed standards people. This isn’t something that is in the hands of Automattic/WordPress.
This, as I understand it was first brought up with the standards people over three years ago and from what I’ve read, it is no closer to resolution than it was FIVE years ago.
