Trackin'

The Epistula blog entry system now supports Trackback. After everything I said about them (was it really only two weeks ago?) this may come as a bit of a shock, but reread. The entry system supports TB, the blog display doesn't. This means I can ping other blogs that support it (It isn't really complicated to ping, that's one of the good bits) but they can't ping me. Note, I'm supporting this before I implement X-Pingback: support. Because I'm still not sure I'm going to.

All this pingback and trackback stuff… what does it actually *do*? All I see is technical details but no ‘why’ ...

Sounds fair to me (your stance on X-Pingback)—if you don’t like it, don’t support it.
