This is one of those rare situations where the error message
specifies exactly what is wrong.  :-)  The PHP software
on the server is configured to disallow reading information
from remote sites (i.e., http://blogsearch.google.com/ping?...).
So, PHP is preventing the recipe from doing the steps of
the ping.

The fix is to change the allow_url_fopen setting in the
PHP configuration.
