I created a test WordPress site and added the rssCloud WordPress plugin. I then added a ping to Andrew Shell’s rssCloud server (http://rpc.rsscloud.io:5337/ping/) to the Update Services text field in the Writing subsection of the Settings section of the Dashboard. I created a test post, did not see any ping evidence in the rssCloud server log. I then updated the ping URL to remove the trailing slash and created another test post, but again did not see anything in the log.
I also looked at the RSS feeds being properly notified on the rssCloud server (HN News and Dave Winer linkblog) and their <cloud> element is pointing to Andrew Shell’s server. Perhaps my next step will be to modify the WordPress plugin to use that server…we shall see…
