I’ve finally figured out how the heck Trackback works, and enabled it on this blog and the ones I’ve set up for friends. If you’re one of those people, or a person with a blog I didn’t set up, here’s what Trackback is:

If you see a post on someone’s blog and want to coment on it, but in your own blog, click the “Trackback” link at the bottom to find the Trackback URL for that entry. When you’re editing your blog entry, paste that URL into “list of URLs to ping” and your blog will contact my blog and let it know that you’ve posted something related to my entry. My trackback page will then be updated.

And we can all stay connected in our ubergeek online community. Ain’t life grand?
