URIs to Ping

The following services will automatically be pinged/notified when you publish normal or future timestamped posts. Not when you edit previously published posts, as WordPress does by default.

This plugin also fixes an issue with the default extended ping programming in Wordpress and pre-2.1 versions of Smart Update Pinger (it now includes the url of the new post).

NB: this list is synchronized with the original update services list.

Ping log

These are the last 100 actions performed by the plugin. In reverse chronological order for easier reading (latest ping first).

What do to when it´s not too windy

Posted by kite2012 On October - 11 - 2012

Days with light wind can easily turn in a battle with the kite. Pumping the kite up and down like a freak in the struggle to gain some height is frustrating. Make one trick and you´ll lose all the height you’ve managed to get over the last 5 minutes! Why not lenghten the lines a bit and enjoy an awesome ride, just make sure that you have some space for launching and landing :)
