Description of trackbacks, please.
Can anyone give a quick overview of what a trackback is, what it means to your blog, lens or website, and what are the best urls to include in a trackback when publishing a new post? Thanks, look forward to a clearer description.
I’m just wondering!

Inappropriate?Clouda,
A trackback is when you send a little message to another blog when you reference a post from that blog. The 'trackback' then shows up in the comments.
example:
If you were to reference one of the posts on Captain Squid and you put the URL of the post you are talking about in the 'trackback' box, when you publish your post a little one line comment will appear on that post on Captain Squid!
It's a pretty cool feature, give it a try!

Inappropriate?Thanks for the reply! A little more pleeze...is it important that your trackback be relevant? Meaning, if I am leaving a comment on a blog about recipes, it is better for me to leave a trackback to one of my recipe lenses or just pick one I'd want others to see? I've read conflicting information and would like to get it clearer in my head...plus hoping this back and forth helps someone else figure it out =D As always, thanks!
I’m beatin' to a different drummer!
