So, how does a trackback work?

[virgohippy]

I used wordpress to do this, which automatically does the trackback ping for me as long as it knows the appropriate uri.

I write a post:

In the body of my post there is a link to a friend's (Simon) post:

Notice that Simon's post has a comment down below which quotes part of my post? This is a trackback. Anything more is too technical for me to understand.

Does this answer your question?
