Special care should be taken when using this function because utilizing the ping function too much, pinging servers too often, can get your account blocked by the same ping servers; you want to avoid that. and if you’re utilizing the ping function from within Windows Live Writer, you don’t need to use the ping function in your blog service [such as WordPress].
