No doubt the first of many dumb questions about OS X

BlogToaster Updates it now has two additional [related] commands, FIND and CHECK. One of the problems with using BlogToaster, even with the IMPORT command, is getting the correct URL to watch, these two commands hopefully make it easier to find the correct URL to watch. For example do

FIND slashdot
BlogToaster says:
SlashDot.Org : add http://www.slashdot.org/

To find out that you should be watching http://www.slashdot.org/ and not http://slashdot.org/ [which is what the RSS feed says]

The CHECK command will return a list of URLs you are watching that haven't ping weblogs.com recently [currently within the last week, but I plan to extend this once I've captured more data]. In some cases the lack of pings is because you're watching the wrong URL, use the FIND command to get the right URL to watch.

Finally I started a BlogToaster mailing list to discuss features / releases etc.

Sam suggested tweaking the MIME database to get IE to display application/soap+xml directly, I put together a reg file with the changes :) Thanks Sam !
