How do I send a Trackback?
The example url I use is this one: http://wordpress.org/development/2006/04/wordpattern
You would start the same as if you were going to link
Now you would go to the post on the other person's blog and look for the 'Trackback URI' or somewhere that Trackback is written.
Once you have that link you need to find it's location.
In Firefox this would be Right-click on the link and 'Copy Link Location'
In IE this would be Right-click on the link and 'Copy Shortcut'
In Opera this would be Right-click on the link and 'Copy Link Address'
Back on your blog, scroll down from the Write area to the 'Trackbacks' box and paste the whole link location into that box. It MUST start with http:// and it MUST end with /trackback/. (WordPress blogs only. Other types of blog will differ).
Now post and the trackback will be sent.
I can't send trackbacks?
- your trackback might be sent but the receiving site may choose not to show it.
- check you have sent it correctly
- use this Test Blog to test sending and receiving.
