I did post one of my photos in my blog, but it seemed totally out of place. Even though there is a lot of technology involved, in the end it's a photo of a bird and not really related to the rest of the issues discussed in the blog. I had a look at some of the pages I referenced, and it does seem that the trackbacks don't work on all types of blog. I think I'll just let WorPress do it's thing and not worry about it. Let the trackbacks fall where they may. :D Thanks for your help and encouragement.

But honestly, is anyone still not using WordPress? ;-) Glad to help increase your vocabulary, too. I totally support and write extensively about the concept of writing a focused topic blog, creating a body of work to build a reputation. So I'm totally on your side. While I do blog about blogging and WordPress here, I also have a <a href="http://www.cameraontheroad.com/" rel="nofollow">photography and travel blog</a>, keeping the topics separate as much as I can, though there is a little cross over.

I wondered how they found out so quickly. It's nice to know the system works, all that stuff about copying and pasting trackback URLs seemed a bit of a hassle. Does this work with every type of blog, not just Wordpress? wrt blogipsism, I am trying to make a blog with a specific focus. (Probably not succeeding yet, but it's early days.) I think it's good that there are some nice blogs about blogs, but that is not what I am doing. Maybe I protested too much; that is something I will have to watch. I like the term altruistic spirals. :D That would explain why I’ve mostly received comments from other bloggers when I posted about them. I wondered how they found out so quickly.

So do nothing and trackbacks will work automatically. For example, you put a link to an article on my blog (thank you) in your article and WordPress automatically sent me a little note that said "someone's talking about this!" which displayed on that post. And I came to visit to see what you were saying. If anyone did the work, it was me to click to visit your site. You did nothing special, did you? ;-) You can manually trackback, but it really isn't necessary. So don't do anything and trackbacks will work. As for blogipsism, I think it's good to talk about what you do, because the more you talk about how you do it, the more others can learn how you do it so they can do it better, whatever "-ipsism" it is that you do. How is that for self-absorbent, altruistic spirals? :D Um, in a WordPress blog, there is nothing to do to do a trackback. So do nothing and trackbacks will work automatically.
