DerekJBerg.com: Using Trackback

  • Tony Dye · 4 years ago
    Derek, as you dig into trackback, if you come up with a simple way to explain it, please share. I understand the basic concept of giving credit for sources, but the concept of sending a trackback "ping" just doesn't add much clarity to this novice. Thanks for your post.

    Hey Tony,


    I'm going to use your most recent post recap on what to look for in a CMS to try to explain this the best I know how, of course this is how I'm doing it that doesn't mean there is a better or easier way.



    First I make my post and reference your post, CMS Principles, reviewed. I then hyperlink that to the permalink for that post http://tonydye.typepad.com/main/2005/12/cms_pri... I finish my post referencing your post and save and publish it.



    I then go over to the Wizbang pinger that I referenced in my trackback post. In the top box I enter your trackback url (http://www.typepad.com/t/trackback/3782700) which can be found on the permalink page of your post.



    In the second box would go the permalink url for the post I just created.



    Third box would be the title of my blog.(My Mind to your Monitor) The title of the post I just created. (9 ingredients to bake a CMS)



    And in the bottom box goes a short excerpt from the post I just created. Click on the submit trackback button and all should be done. Hope this helps.

    Thanks Derek,


    I'll have to keep digging, but that helps. Blessings!
