So, how does a trackback work?

Well, one thing is now clear to me.

I meant putting a one way permalink in a post body, and did not mean trackbacking.

That's the thing I was suggesting we do a bit more of, tho, as hony suggested, it will tend to be a bit of trouble, and we'll probably only do it sporadically.

But, it might help "vaccinate" our blogs from having only index-to-index links, and not having at least a few interior page to interior page links, making them look a tiny bit better to the various search engines.

As well as giving something slightly fun to our surfers to follow. Surfers like to explore.

I think it's interesting that virgohippy didn't put the /trackback/ at the end of the permalink, yet the linked blog treated it as a trackback. I've seen that too, and that's what I thought a trackback was.

Why did his usage work the way it did?

Does nofollow and dofollow have any affect on this?
