WordPress Ping

I have read that WordPress pings too frequently even when you
have content in line and ready to be posted. One cure I
found was WORDPRESS PING OPTIMIZR. It is free but with version
3.0 or later of WP is such a plug-in still desirable? Has this
problem WP been cured?

Hi Claude.<div><br /></div><div>If you take a look at the download page for the ping optimizer plugin, the plugin publisher starts off saying that even the latest version of WordPress has this problem.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cbnet-ping-optimizer/">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cbnet-ping-optimizer/</a></div><div><br /></div><div>If you are concerned about your blog pinging too frequently, this plugin should be lightweight enough that you can activate it without worrying, just to be on the safe side.</div><div><br />Thanks.</div><br /><br />Brian Zeligson<br /> Customer Support Representative<br /> WPDirect.com<br />
