Trackbacks for Dummies
Tue, Dec 18, 2007
When I first started blogging, I kept hearing the term “trackback” and was puzzled by what it really meant.
I had managed to figure out some of the other blog lingo like permalink, tag, ping, post, etc… but this “trackback” concept alluded me for a while. It was always referred to as a task or action” –”doing a trackback”– and I kept thinking that if I want to be a great blogger, I need to be “doing trackbacks” -whatever the heck they are…
I remember being determined to figure this out one day and spent a ridiculous amount of time on codex.wordpress.org getting the definition of “trackback” and then understanding how to “do” one.
If only I would have met Jack humphrey at The Friday Traffic Report before that day, it would have saved me a few hours.
So, blogging beginners, don’t waste another minute wondering how to do a trackback. Jack has a great screen capture video with the full explanation on doing a trackback the easy way.
