How does this trackback thingy work?

When posting a weblog entry, you get this "post trackbacks to URL..." option. How would that work? What URL should I type in? Regards, Dominik

Re: How does this trackback thingy work?

Basically you should put in the trackback field the URI of the other blog you are commenting about. From wikipedia: TrackBack is a mechanism used in a blog to show, around an entry, a list of other blogs that refer to it. The term TrackBack was introduced by Six Apart which introduced a mechanism (although the functionality was present in the HTTP specification as early as 1992) in their blogging server, Movable Type, that works by sending a 'ping' between the blogs, and therefore providing the alert. The blog receiving the ping typically displays the TrackBack information below a blog entry. This usually includes a summary of what has been written on the target blog, together with a URL and the name of the blog. The Referer field in the HTTP protocol was originally intended as a means of supporting features similar to those TrackBack offers. To receive trackbacks you can use as URI the URI of the blog entry of this site. HTH stef
