Trackbacks and Pings


Recommended Posts

Ok, now a question from me. I am still pretty new to blogging and have seen the terms ping and trackback. I know there are a few bloggers in the group here. Can someone explain these to me. Apparently it is a way of linking and promoting blogs.

BTW - if you have an external blog that is not linked in our blog community, please add it in your control panel.

Thanks!

I haven't had much time to be here lately while I got my new book ready to be published. Now it's in production, I'm rewriting another that I originally wrote in 1976. But I still find time for my blogs. One of which is "The New THOMA$ REPORT" on Town Hall (http://thomasreport.blogtownhall.com/default.aspx) and the other "The Bull Cutter" on Blogspot (http://bullcutter.blogspot.com/). I sometimes miss a day, but mostly they're updated daily, sometimes several times a day. I'm not sure what those terms mean either. "Pinging" is looking for a location for a URL by "pinging" his URL, but I don't know how to do it. "Trackback," I don't know about.
