trackback, the bookmark way

firstly, here's a place to play with pinging, when you get your shiny new MT 2.2 running: TrackBack Demo.

i'm exploring the bookmarking feature right now. this rocks. if you are in a trackback-enabled page, you just hit your bookmarklet, and it lets you select the entry you're writing a response to, from a list.

remember when comments first became widely implemented, how interactivity changed blogging? from what i've seen today, trackback is the next level of this.

and for you meme aficionados, this puppy is a lean, mean, meme machine. oh yeah.

*sniff* what? oh, that kind of coke. yeah, i got some vanilla coke. welcome home, mr. mischief.

I don't like vanilla coke, and I'm jealous that you have MT 2.2 and I don't. I'm freightened to make a change.

I can't get the trackback to work. :(

By VASpider on June 27, 2002 8:45 AM

Okay, I'm dumb. You know what I needed to do?

RTFM.

ok honey chile, i don't get it. i just installed MT 2.2 on SSN today...and i'm perplexed by what this TrackBack thing does, how it works, etc. i am easily confused.

By bran on June 27, 2002 9:05 AM

ok, n/m that last comment from me as i just now read your previous post. ok, i'm convinced: i'm upgrading to MT 2.2.

By VASpider on June 27, 2002 9:26 AM

I'm still getting weird errors. >.

How come I can't get the Trackback link to show on my page? I think I've followed the directions, but I must have screwed something up with placement of the trackback tags. Any ideas?

By VASpider on June 27, 2002 10:01 AM

This is making me insane. I've followed all the instructions and still, it's choking on all the stuff. I'm just staring blankly.

think I'll wait til the dust settles.

By kd on June 27, 2002 10:44 AM

wise. there is considerable dust.

Ok, I seriously have to sic you on Todd. I installed it for him tonight and he's MAD at me over it! He doesn't see the use and hates an extra link in his date/time line.

By Christine on June 28, 2002 4:43 AM

Ok, FINE! I'll do it! I'll do it! (but not tonight. I saw your post about how you jacked up your blog the other day. I want to be fresh, awake & focused!)

By mic on June 28, 2002 4:51 AM

nerds. bleeping nerds. every last one of ya. mt & the church of spongebob?! the words alternate universe come to mind.

By Sal on June 28, 2002 5:09 AM

You are so sexy when you talk nerdy. But I have no idea what it all means. I just assume it means nothing to me.

By kd on June 28, 2002 5:41 AM

by all means, be fresh and well rested. doing it at midnight on vicodin is *not* recommended (all i did wrong was get a few things wrong in the config file.)

I accidentally hit the "trackback" instead of comments. Scared me for a second. But now I know better. kd, you've always got the slickest, neatest features. You're my hero.

By Linkmeister on June 28, 2002 12:24 PM

Yeah; I have 2.2 installed but trackback isn't showing, so I think I'll wait till tomorrow to putz with it.
