How to use Trackback Trackback relies on specific Blog / TrackBack tools. The following is mainly used for MT TRACKBACK.
Small bookmark (Bookmarklet)
The easiest way to use Trackback in MT is to use small bookmarks that use its automatic discovery capabilities to find a group of TRACKBACKs from the current page you are reading. (Automatic discovery means you don't need to do anything related work, because the system will be completed for you). If you haven't set a small bookmark in MT, then:
Log in to MT Click "Set Up Bookmarklets" to configure the display of small bookmarks Note: Be sure to select the "TRACK ITEMS" option because this is a magical automatic discovery function switch. Select what you want to display in a small bookmark by clicking on the box before the following options. Then click "Create". Installing a small bookmark to drag the "Post to MT WebLog" link to the "Link" toolbar (or in the favorite collection), its title is "Post to MT Weblog". (For IE users, you can add a "MT IT!" To the right-click menu, and select this menu item when you click Right click on the current page, and you can implement a small bookmark function).
In some Chinese versions of the MT, you need to make the $ mthome / lib / mt / l10n / zh_cn.pm as follows:
'Post to MT Weblog' => ',
Change to
'Post to MT Weblog' => 'POST TO MT Weblog',
Otherwise, this link can not be seen.
When you read the article on other blogs, click "Post to Mt Weblog",
If you can trackback in the current page, its title will be automatically added to a drop-down list to select PING (if there is only one article that meets the requirements, you will use the checkbox option instead of the drop-down list). Other elements on the page are selected when you are configured in front. If all items have been selected at that time, the page is very similar to the normal "new article". After the relevant items are entered, click "POST", after rebuilding the article, the system automatically picks you from the following article in the drop-down list. There is an operation here.

Edit article content, click Save button When the article is created, then the "ping ..." window is displayed. At this point, MT automatically sends "Trackback Ping" to notify the target file.
Use "Automatic Discovery" function to send "Trackback Ping"
In MT, the last way to use "TrackBack Ping" is to open "Auto Discovery (TRACK AUTO-Discovery) option in your blog settings.
When this option is opened, MT uses automatic discovery to analyze the page corresponding to the link in your article, if you receive "Trackback Ping", if you receive, you will automatically send a "trackback ping" to that page from your article.

The protocol TRACKBACK is an architecture of a peer-to-peer communication and inter-site advertisement. Based on "Push" principle, not "Pull": If you want to share information with other sites, you have to initialize the connection, not waiting for other sites to find you (and your information). With TRACKBACK, the site can communicate related resources. For example, if he wants to inform B, he wrote some interesting / exciting / shocking stuff, A TRACKBACK PING is sent to B. This completes two things:
B can automatically list the website that references his article, visit the visitors of his website to read all related articles on the network, including the article. Web robots can also access this information, so that the contact details between the site can be obtained. Ping offers a solid, direct link between his articles and your article, not the non-direct connection that relies on external behavior (someone who clicks on that connection). The TRACKBACK protocol is open to any blog tool, and the specific specifications are met.

Although the content aggregation is currently the most popular application of Trackback, a more exciting use has begun: using TrackBack to aggregate the relevant content to a topic-based repository (Repository). This is actually the initial design use of Trackback: The distance comment comes from a special warehouse, the "theme" at this time is a blog article. The content aggregation site collects content about a topic. If you have tried to find a blog article about a particular topic, this is very impossible unless a news story or a new thing. If your topic is about the 80s music, you have to spend more difficult times to find all the blog articles about that topic. This time, when Trackback shows the hand: By building a warehouse about the 80s music, other contents can use Trackback to automatically ping this warehouse. Anyone who finds the article about the 80s music can go to this page to find articles that point to this site. These content warehouses can be centrally stored (such as Internet Topic Exchange) or distributed. Take MT as an example, you can set any blog classification to receive TRACKBACK PING, which makes you a source of information you are interested in. Log in to MT Select Blog to store the classification of the TRACKBACK Click "Categories" Edit Category Properties Click a Category "Edit Category Attribute" connection setting to receive the trackback ping. In the template, add the display. Ping's code
