A trackback-guide
Weblog (wiki) - urs @ 09:08:22

[via http://whump.com ] Michael wrote a guide or "little explanation with pictures" on what trackbacks are and how you use them [1]. His summary:

So, to review:
1) The purpose of TrackBack is to a site know that you are referencing them on your on site.
2) The TrackBack URL is different than the regular permanent link URL.
3) TrackBacks are fun. You should use them.

Ok, it does not work via comments actually but via the generation of a new post. There b2 offers a special trackback url input field, where you write down the trackback url to the very specific post on a certain site. This only works, if this other site offers trackback functionality of course.
