Upgraded to Wordpress 2.9 – Patched Scheduling and Pingbacks
The Networking Blog has proudly been updated to the latest and greatest version of Wordpress - version 2.9 that was just released. The upgrade did encounter some trouble – while the site ran perfectly well, no trackbacks or pingbacks were sent. This networking issue was solved quickly, and we’d like to thank those who helped.
While bloggers that see incoming traffic to their site from another blog will notice they received a link, not everybody is addicted to the statistics of their site. An automatic pingback or a manual trackback send a comment to the specific blog post that got the link, tracking back to the site that sent it. This is a common practice, that enhances the interconnectivity – networking.

The latest version of Wordpress, while having lots of great features, stopped sending these notifications. Scheduled posts also stopped appearing amongst other problems.
Luckily, this excellent platform has a large community of people that care about it. A patch appeared quite fast. Dennis de Bernardy posted a patch here. It instantly solved the problem. Thank you Dennis!
Stay tuned for the regular schedule of networking posts coming up later on.
