How do I ping a trackback to your posts, Lindsay? Or do I just.. not?

Chy

I don't think I even know what you mean by 'ping a trackback'! Is it desirable?

Lindsay

It's like an automatic link thingie. If I post something you've linked to on another blog, and fill in a little doodad with the 'trackback address' of your original post, it will automatically add the link to <span style="font-style: italic;">my</span> post at the bottom of yours. It lets you know how many people have blogged what you blogged. It appears Bifurcated isn't set up for it.

I see that on lots of other sites and think - why would I want to do that? I think I have the code to support it implemented somewhere, because I recall writing it a while ago, but it isn't connected or anything. I suppose it could appear in the comments page or something. I'll look at it again and fit in if I have a quiet 5 minutes.
