HOW TO SEND A TRACKBACK Each blogging software system handles trackbacks differently. Bloggers can also choose to switch trackbacks off or require every trackback be approved before going live, so don't be surprised when you send a trackback and it doesn't show up, it may have nothing to do with you. Some blogs will trackback automatically, or attempt to, especially if they are the same format. For example a WordPress blog trackbacking a WordPress blog. In that case as long as you include a link to the other blog's post your blog will attempt a trackback (sometimes called a "pingback"). Usually you have to manually enter a trackback URI into the blog entry you are creating. You can find the trackback URI at the end of most blog posts (take a look at your blog posts for the term "Trackback URI" or similar). By the way - URL = Uniform Resource Locator, a fancy name for 'Link' URI = Uniform Resource Identifier, another fancy name for 'Link' I use WordPress and for each blog post I make there is a trackback input box section for entering trackback URIs. I copy and paste the trackback URI from the blog entry I want to link to and when I click publish my blog will send the trackback. My blog will also confirm when a trackback has been sent after publishing my post.
