TrackBacking

For those of you that are interested in trakbacking but were not able to attend Bud's session after class today, HERE is a link to the typepad help page that helped me to figure it out. It explains more clearly what trackbacking is all about and gives directions on how to enable it. I think everyone should check it out because it will really allow us to blog about more as a class utilizing more of a conversation format. I think this will be easier and more productive, rather than just making random postings. So check the link for more infor or I can tell you what I did : In a nutshell, in order to respond to someone's posting via trackbacking, Create a new post then click the Configure tab and go to Display. At the bottom of the display page, check the box that says "Allow Trackback Pings on by default" and check the second box if you want to receive an email when someone trackbacks your posts. Go back to the Post tab and create your post. There should be a box at the lower right hand corner of your new post that says "Send a Trackback to these addresses" This is where you copy and paste the trackback URL of the post you want to respond to....provided the post has trackbacks enabled, it should be at the bottom of their posting. Blog away, but don't forget to check the "Accept TrackBacks" box each time you blog so that we can all respond!
