I figured it out once the fact that the “last updated” indicator for my site on Lil’s blogroll read “October 22nd” had percolated in my brain overnight. Ah! That was the day I changed the configuration on the server to switch from ‘/journal.php’ to ‘/journal’. (The old journal.php-based URLs still work, though, to preserve compatibility with those outside sites that link to specific entries here.) Apparently, ever since that switch, my pings to Blogrolling.com have been all for naught.

The same’s been true for Wendi’s site, which I also changed that same day. The same has not been true for Lil’s site, since it was coded “the new way” from Day One. Dawn and Mari have been running Movable Type all along, so they haven’t had to deal with this at all.

Go figure, eh? Now, of course, I need to figure out how to remedy the situation without breaking the new change…
