Step #11 in 101 Steps to Better Blogging - Trackbacks
OOPS!! I forgot this one but I think it’s important and it’s something I worked hard to learn how to do so I want to share it.
Using trackbacks is a way to refer back to a site and let them know you are writing about them on your own site. It shows up in their comments and quotes a few lines from your own post and links back to your post. I use Wordpress and so this is the only way I know how to do it. Below the box you type your post in there is a box that says “send trackbacks to” and then a box. This box is where you type where you want your trackback to be sent. There is a very simple explanation of how to type a trackback that I found at Wordpress Help.
To see an example of a trackback in action you can visit My Thoughts to see where my trackback to this post appears.
