Trackbacks

I have a new version of the blizzog in development and I’m trying to teach myself about a few blog-related technologies out there, specifically TrackBacks.  For those of you that don’t know, TracksBacks are a way of leaving a comment on someone else’s blog simply by linking to a post you wish to comment about from your blog.  I haven’t done much of this so I’m not sure to what degree my current software supports it, nor am I sure if the software being used by some of my good blog buddies does either.

To that end, I’m going to do some test linking here and see what happens.

The wsyiblog writes about Google’s new Google Select Beta that hit the web on Friday.  This feature seems to have taken the blogosphere by storm, though I’m still trying to figure out exactly what is so cool about it.

JT.net gave a shout-out to John Lennon on the anniversary of his death a few days ago.  It would have been very interesting to see what his continued impact on the music world would’ve been had he lived.

MT.net writes about how he would like to draw a comic strip someday.  I think that’s pretty cool.  I was just reading the other day about a fellow geek who draws a comic strip for fun.  Nick Bradbury, the created of HomeSite (and now FeedDemon), writes a comic strip called Dexter.  The latest one can be found here.

Cool.  Now that I’ve made these links, I’ll see if it shows up on any of your sites.  If you guys could try to link back to this post here that would be pretty cool too.  That way I can see if my software supports this or not.  Thanks! 

Update: A quick scan of the sites I linked to above indicates that only Nick Bradbury’s site seems to have picked up my TrackBack ping.  Sorry for the clutter, Nick.
