Ping Services
Using the Ping Service, BlogEngine.NET will automatically ping one or more servers each time a new post is created or an old one is updated. An XML-RPC signal is sent to one or more “ping servers”, which can then generate a list of blogs that have new material.
BlogEngine.NET comes with several preset servers to make sure your blog posts gets indexed as soon as they are created/updated.
Adding a new Ping URL
Adding a new server is straight forward, just copy-paste the URL of the Ping service you want to inform and click “add”.

For a comprehensive and updated list of available Ping Servers:
here is what i did to make it work. I provide all steps to have a complete documentation.
“Webroot” is the directory where you installed blogengine.net in. You should change the web.config
in the last step, because you have to restart your application anyway.
- Download the FCKEditor main package at http://www.fckeditor.net/download.
- Extract the zip file to your webroot. You now have a folder fckeditor in your webroot.
- Download the FCKEditor.NET package at http://www.fckeditor.net/download.
- Extract the zip file to a temporary folder.
- Copy FredCK.FCKeditorV2.dll from {temporary folder}\bin\Release\2.0\ to the \bin\ directory of your webroot.
- Create a folder “userfiles” in your webroot. Add write permissions to this folder for the Network Service account (Windows Server 2003).
- Switch off HTTP compression in the blog settings
- add_entry.aspx ({webroot}\admin\Pages\):
- add <%@ Register Assembly="FredCK.FCKeditorV2" Namespace="FredCK.FCKeditorV2" TagPrefix="fck" %>
- replace
- remove upload fields (txtUploadImage, txtUploadFile)
- add_entry.aspx.cs ({webroot}\admin\Pages\):
- replace txtContent.Text with txtContent.Value
- remove all references to the old upload fields (txtUploadImage, txtUploadFile)
- the function SizeFormat() can also be removed
- fckconfig.js ({webroot}\fckeditor\):
- set _FileBrowserLanguage to 'aspx'
- set _QuickUploadLanguage to 'aspx'
- config.ascx ({webroot}\fckeditor\editor\filemanager\connectors\aspx\):
- you have to implement a session check in CheckAuthentication() or just return true (not recommended)
- Set enableSessionState=”true” in the
section in web.config
Can someone give me a hint how to implement the session check in the CheckAuthentication() method?
There seem to be some confusion about the Google Sitemap support of BlogEngine.NET, so I thought I would elaborate on it. First of all, BlogEngine.NET has a build-in sitemap handler so you don’t need to write it yourself.
BlogEngine.NET comes with many build-in handlers such as:
- microsumary.axd
- sitemap.axd
- syndication.axd
- commentfeed.axd
- opensearch.axd
- rsd.axd
…and more not so interesting ones.
All the handlers are accessible by typing http://www.yourblog.com/handler.axd where handler can be any one of them. So, in order to see the generated Google Sitemap just type in http://www.yourblog.com/sitemap.axd in your browser. Here is mine.
Auto discovery
You can tell Google manually about the location of your sitemap file or you can put the URL in the robots.txt file. I recommend putting it in the robots.txt because then Yahoo, MSN, Ask and Google can find it. Yahoo, MSN and Ask also supports the Google Sitemap format.
Just add this line to your robots.txt file:
sitemap: http://www.yourblog.com/sitemap.axd
This line can be the only line in the robots.txt if you don’t want to provide more information to the robots and spiders.
