This post has a trackback URL.<BR/><BR/>If I respond to your post on my blog, I'd copy the Special Trackback URL into a special field on my blog post (in most blogging systems).<BR/><BR/>The trackback url is meant for servers, really. <BR/><BR/>Then, when I published/posted my blog entry, MY server sees the trackback URL and it digitally pokes YOUR server, sending along the regular human URL of MY post. Your blog then puts a little note to the effect that I posted a response to your post, with a link.<BR/><BR/>Nice idea, maybe, but not so smart on the fact of it--trackbacks are really really easy to exploit for spamming. And they're a nuisance requiring more labor than they're worth.<BR/><BR/>Much better to rely on looking at your logs.Lisa Spangenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00916288400544629723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13713642.post-1123772776205291282005-08-11T10:06:00.000-05:002005-08-11T10:06:00.000-05:00I don't remember any chiding :) Trackbacks are kin...I don't remember any chiding :) <BR/><BR/>Trackbacks are kinda hard to implement and cumbersome to use on blogger, but they rock for inter-blog conversations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
