Hi, Jamy! It seems like your comment is spam by my akismet!
To many link inside a comment will marked as spam by the engine. And the result is I need to delete all the link inside your comment to let it appear properly. Sorry to modified your comment.
But I saw your problems there. the update service is located in the Wordpress Admin Panel -> Choose Option -> Find the Writing Tab -> Scroll your page to below. You should see the same picture as my example image.
Copy and paste all the links in this post to the box. Done!

Hi, Hoong!
Reply to Ken XuI got this list from my friend’s recommendation, and i believe with this ping list we can make the engine aware and will index our post as soon as we hit the “publish” button.

Adding many ping services can slow down posting/editing for blog. Some ping services like pingoat, it also ping to another ping services for your blog. So you don’t need to put too many services. Or if you would like to ping, I suggest you to add only weblogs, yahoo, technorati, pingomatic and pingoat. Yup, 5 ping services are enough for a blog. You’ll notice that can speed up posting and editing for your blog.
p.s: links from “Related posts” is a little bit funny. all are not related with this post. I think you put to many utw tags in your posts. Just thoughts and give you some suggestions.
Regards,
Myo Kyaw Htun
Reply to Myo Kyaw Htun(July 21, 2007, 7:27 am)
Well, May be I should change the “related post” to the “Read more” Instead!
Reply to Ken XuThe plugin is not smart enough to guess what my content is! ;p
Thanks for your suggestion! You make me aware of something I’m missed to aware!
About the ping list, I haven’t had any problem until today. I apply to the ping list last two month. I think it’s about the internet connection speed that decide everything!
Oh yeah, Htun! Do you have any idea about comment paragraph formatting?
Do you see your comment and this comment is stuck together with no space?
This is really a problem. Although I have make a big space, using the “br” or “p” tag, it won’t function properly.

problem with wrong css declaration and I also found that there some unnecessary css codes in your css file.
Original is #MyAvatars. This is wrong and not valid xhtml. # is used for id and id should be unique. try put this code.
.MyAvatars {
float:right;
margin-left: 10px;
}
.comment content {
line-height: 1.9em; /* or 1.5 em up to you*/
}
I hope it works.
Reply to Myo Kyaw Htun(July 21, 2007, 11:14 am)
I see. great advice! I will try it now.
Reply to Ken Xu(July 21, 2007, 1:12 pm)

Reply to ReviewSaurus(July 23, 2007, 4:42 pm)

Thanks for your pingback too, Gautam!
Reply to Ken Xu(July 24, 2007, 7:17 am)
sound likes ‘line spacing’
if you mean line spacing
find this
.comment {
..
. …
}
put this line
line-height: 1.9em;
between .comment { and } (like this)
.comment {
line-height: 1.9em;
}
and
.comment p {
line-height: 1.9em;
}
your theme has layout problem when I checking with different browsers. right sidebar that includes your photo goes down when I checking with Internet Explorer.
And also I’d like to say that css codes in your theme are messy. If you don’t believe me just upload your css file to some css forums and let them check. Before you use the theme you should consider whether it is cross browser compatible or not.

Wow! Thanks guy!
Reply to Ken XuWell, the css files is come by default from the creator of this “Super Adsense Theme”.
I have no idea why they make it hard to digest…
