Trackbacking
OK. I’ve got a confession to make.
I’ve been blogging for 18 months and I’ve never done a trackback.
Until today.
After some prodding from my friend Tom Evslin and some eating some crow served up by Charlie, I decided to figure out how to do it.
I wanted to ping Martin back with my prior post and that provided the impetus.
It turns out to be pretty easy. I just had to customize the TypePad posting display.
So watch out everyone, you’ll start getting pings from me! Please forgive me if I spam a few. It happens to me all the time and I know its a common problem with trackbacking.
I also took the opportunity to add Excerpt and Keywords windows to my posting display. I’ve been adding keywords. I have no idea what that does but tagging is cool and I figured I’d start doing it. if anyone knows what value Excerpts and Keywords create for me, I’d love to hear about it in the comments section.
