I haven't had the need to work on BlogPing for a long, long time now, but I was going through some older code of mine at the weekend, and decided to put BlogPing on a diet and give it a good spruce up.
The result is BlogPing 1.5, which is much smaller than BlogPing 1.1 now that all the cruft has been removed. It also has a nicer default template and is pretty much standalone. It hasn't yet been committed, but a copy of it is live and running the revived Irish Weblog Ping Proxy, if anyone wants to see it in a action.
