Hi walrus
I'll do exactly that.
How to trackback a wordpress blog;
Lets imagine you are reading my blog and see this entry about Mellisa Midwest being arrested again;
http://www.boogie-blog.com/the-unusu...sa-midwest.htm
The ease of trackbacking is simple.
1) Find the trackback url to use
2) create a post that mentions the article and links to the blog you found it from, and/or the article you found it from.
3) Two choices here to trackback
a) Check your preferences in your options to see if your blog supports "autoatmically try to trackback linked articles" if so turn this on. This may work quite easily and fast for you.
B) manually trackback by turning on "Advanced options" in your "write" UI, and including the "trackback url" you copied from the entry into the appropriate field.
So for example if I were to do it manually...
I visit the article;
http://www.boogie-blog.com/the-unusu...sa-midwest.htm
I look for the trackback url by doint a CNTRL-F find for "trackback".
Supply that trackback url into the appropriate field as I'm writing the article...
the automatic trackback will be submitted to the original author for approval.
