When you are in your WordPress admin page, click on the right side where it says settings. Then you will need the Writing tab, you can find that toward the left side. Once on that page, scroll down toward the bottom of the page, you will see Update Services. Under that is a textarea box. You can copy-paste this into it. This will ping these sites that you have updated your blog.

This is the list that I have…
