The XML-RPC Ping Services list at WordPress sometimes needs sprucing up, as in a reality check. Not all of the services listed there are there anymore. Some are just outright gone, others are refusing updates, and some still work fine but take a LONG time to respond.

That is why it sometimes seems like forever between the moment you press PUBLISH and the time it actually finishes publishing your article. The ping service sites that are not there or taking a long time to respond are gumming the works up.

Here is my list of sites, adopted from the WordPress site, that I have done a reality check on and respond quickly and reliably. BTW: this list is entered in the wp-admin panel at OPTIONS - WRITING - UPDATE SERVICES.

Periodically I do a reality check on this list and remove those entries that seem to have fallen into disuse. It would be a good habit for everyone to get into to maintain a healthy and fun blog experience.
