How TrackBack works

I wrote up a brief explanation, with pictures, about what TrackBack is and how you use it.

Let me know if you have more questions.

The one thing that is still unclear: Where is "the specific space called URLs to Ping." Is that a function of Moveable Type and not Blogger?

That's what I see in Movable Type. I looked into Blogger and it doesn't appear that they have TrackBack working.

I liked your Trackback guide!

I had JUST recently gotten a grasp of the thing myself recently, but your page is definitely something that'll be helpful to many!

One addition that might also help people understand the concept.

Both "traditional" comments and trackbacks talk about a blogger's posts. The difference is that comments are typed into the 'comments box' of the actual site that you're talking about. In contrast, trackbacks are entered in your OWN blog.

Anyway, thanks much for your useful article on trackback'ing :)
