A better thing to do is just show you an example: on this blog post (http://www.jasonunger.com/2006/07/10/wikipedia-and-ken-lay-not-a-real-story/) I received a trackback from Jason Maynoff's blog, <a href="http://jmayoff.wordpress.com/2006/07/11/wikipedia-and-kenneth-lay/" rel="nofollow">who blogged about</a> my original post.</p> <p>The trackback appears as the title of the blog and the excerpt from his post.

OK, that didn't come out as smoothly as I hoped it would. A better thing to do is just show you an example: on this blog post (http://www.jasonunger.com/2006/07/10/wikipedia-and-ken-lay-not-a-real-story/) I received a trackback from Jason Maynoff's blog, who blogged about my original post.

The trackback appears as the title of the blog and the excerpt from his post. Some blogs separate trackbacks from comments (I don't), but it allows a blog owner to see who is discussing their posts.

Trackbacks work out well for both parties: the original poster has started discussion about a particular topic with his/her blog, and additional bloggers nearly always receive a link to their blog on that original post.

Make sense? Hope that helps!
