Besides ping when post is published, I need my wordpress website to ping automatically when page or posts is viewed (i have imported lots of posts from old html).
I don't know what is the format in pinging. a guy told me that ping to some type of website is as simple as running URL like below (is this true?):
http://www.pingserver.com/[URL-TO-PING]
how about pinging to pingomatic?
why do you want to do this? to keep track of every time you get a view? you can set up google analytics (www.google.com/analytics/) and it'll do it much better than ping.
unless you're trying to trigger some sort of event per view, in which case you could set up a RESTful get request that triggers it?
finally, if you're really set on using ping, php comes with support for a ping library: http://www.codediesel.com/php/ping-a-server-using-php/
unlike drupal, wordpress is lack of workflow
the best solution is to integrate drupal with wordpress so you have both feature
