Blogging Tip

If you’ve got a blog that incorporates the TrackBack feature, it would be a good idea to put a link to the TrackBack URL somewhere where it is easy to find. Preferably, in the signature block of every page on which the post appears–especially the individual archive page.

    Chris, does that mean you have to instigate trackback pings by hand, as I do with Expression Engine?

    I believe WordPress lacks automatic trackback (i.e. requires you to do it manually). I don’t have to do it, however, because my blog isn’t powered by WordPress.

    And here I was thinking that if EE doesn’t incorporate autodiscovery fairly soon I might jump to WP.

    Guess I’ll stay put and keep lobbying pMachine to add autodiscovery to EE. They did incorporate a few of my suggestions in 1.1, just out this week.

    And I just got word that autodiscovery is in the works for EE. Hopefully this will be a rebuild of 1.1 rather than something to be featured in 1.2
