Andre Gide Everything has been said before, but since nobody every listens we have to keep going back and beginning all over again. Over the weekend, I implemented Trackbacks (at least I think I did). This is probably only of interest to other bloggers, but lots of blogging software supports trackbacks, so I figured mine should as well. In a nutshell, trackbacks are a way of linking entries together across multiple blogs. All of the pages on this site now have a “TrackBack Ping URL”. For this page, it’s “http://norman.walsh.name/cgi-bin/trackback/007,016”. The pages also have the RDF-in-a-comment hack for autodiscovery. I haven’t got any mechanism in place for “outbound” pings, but “inbound” pings to norman.walsh.name should work. Feel free to give it a whirl! Successful trackbacks will appear on the bottom of the page. Please let me know if I seem to have botched it somehow.
