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.
ReplyDeleteIt'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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteAs many as lessons I have heard, I can't live like the lesson shows me.
