In an earlier post I was waxing poetic about the command-line ability to blog locally, publish globally using rsync and friends. I added a URL-line Weblogs.com ping to my one-liner and thought I'd pass it along. My blogsync alias now looks something like this:

rsync -t -v -essh -r /Library/WebServer/Documents/ {username}@{hostname}:public_html ; curl http://newhome.weblogs.com/pingSiteForm?name={blogname}&url={blogURL}" | grep "Thanks for the ping"
