Is Trackback Useful?
I've read up on trackbacks but I still don't understand how it works. Is this a useful thing to have? I added in free haloscan trackbacks and comments to my blog and then learned that unless you are a paid haloscan user, old comments (3 months I think) won't be displayed. They don't tell you this when you register...at least not that I saw. Then I had to go back in and remove the haloscan comments and replace the blogger ones. I kept the trackback though. Should I ditch that too?

Here is a previous post on Food Blog Scool about Trackbacks.
It's a tricky subject to grasp, I think. especially if you don't have it (like I don't) nd therefore can't appreciate its power through direct experience.
I haven't quite embraced it as much as I should, perhaps.
I don't really get trackbacks either - seems like a way to refer back to someone else's post while at the same time having that post link to your reference to it.
I used to use haloscan comments and then switched to blogger and lost all comments - not just those more than three months old. Now I have to figure out how to make Blogger comments look nice...
i noticed clare at eatstuff has done a nice thing with her blogger comments using a blogger hack.
As many as lessons I have heard, I can't live like the lesson shows me.
