How to Trackback
A quick primer on doing Trackbacks: I refer you to point 6. But to explain - a trackback is a way of telling someone you've linked to their post in your own post. In this case, you might post something saying "Simon's newest Asia by Blog is up" with a link to this post. If you are using MT or Wordpress the software works out how to send the trackback itself. If you are on Blogger, you can use the manual trackback pinger. Where it asks for the Trackback URL, you can find that by clicking on the Permalink on my original post and going to the bottom section titled "Trackbacks:" or alternatively click on the "Trackback" part next to the Permalink and Speak Up buttons on the original post. Cut and paste the TrackBack URL and make sure you include the permalink to your post as well, plus an excerpt and title of your post. If you've done it properly when you come back here you'll see a little line at the bottom of this post saying "XYZ linked with Blah Blah Blah." I've now added the manual trackback pinger to the Trackback section of the posted by line and to the Trackbacks section of the Permalink. posted by Simon on 09.02.04 at 02:30 PM in the

Thanks for the tip. However, I tried the manual trackback and get an error message from Firefox saying that the URL can't be reached. Still, I appreciate all the helpful and funny tips. Sabine posted by: SabineK on 09.09.04 at 10:37 AM [permalink]I see you changed the URL for the manual trackback. Now it works fine. The manual pinger originally linked to seems to be back in business. http://www.aylwardfamily.com/content/tbping.asp posted by: SabineK on 10.03.04 at 07:56 AM [permalink] |
