Re: [Subtext-devs] how to use a trackback URL

[Phil H. <ha...@gm...>]

Well most sites publish a bit of rdf within the contents of a post.  Subtext
parses that and uses that.

 

For example, view the source on the following URL and you'll see:

 

http://haacked.com/archive/2006/08/23/String.IsNullOrEmpty.aspx

Subject: [Subtext-devs] how to use a trackback URL

 

I was just learning about and testing trackbacks. If I test this between 2
subtext blogs, things work fine. I simply reference another post in my post
(using the normal URL for that post) and a trackback is created at the other
blog's post. It's nice and simple, and it works.

 

However, many sites list a special trackback URL. For example, at this
article
<http://conscont.blogspot.com/2005/08/you-read-it-right-complete-blog.html>
it says use this link for trackbacks:
http://haloscan.com/tb/conscontblog/112468325700800580

 

The following advice
<http://weblogs.about.com/od/weblogs101/f/usetrackback.htm>  doesn't seem to
apply to Subtext:

Copy that trackback URL on the blog entry you wish to reference. Then, when
you write your own blog entry, you must use that URL in the space provided
for trackbacks. Most blogging systems that support the trackback function
will have a section somewhere in the area where you create blog entries. 

Is Subtext enabled to use trackbacks like this? If so, how? Thanks.
