Blogging Basics – The TrackBack
I’ve read quite a few blogs for a long time and I’ve even left a few comments here and there.
I’d also noticed that some people were leaving “track backs” where I was leaving comments but, until yesterday, I didn’t really know what they were.
I wanted to find out because I’ve already been referring to a lot of other people’s blogs here and, if that’s the right way to do that, I sure want to be a “good neighbor” and do it right.
I found this very simple instruction on the trackback but as I was finishing up the post I was going to trackback from, I found an even more simple method right in my WordPress admin.
On the “write posts” page, under your new post, are a number of configuration options you can use to add tags and set your category. There is also an option to add a trackback.
I tried it. It works. How sweet is that?
