Hi Connie – I blogged about your article yesterday just to see if these trackback things really work *grin* and my post has been tracked here! How cool is that?? I do have one question for you though – from one WP user to another – why does my name appear as >>Blog Archive>> and how can I change it?

Loving your blog by the way.

Connie, you may also be interested in directing your Blogger readers to http://betabloggerfordummies.blogspot.com/2007/06/everything-about-labels-in-blogger.html where they show a method of getting a “cloud” in Blogger.

With regard to trackbacks, your blog doesn’t seem to be picking up mine either.

Thanks Hummie for explaining how it is in Blogger. (I knew that you were on it). Hummie is the blogger, PSE expert – keep that in mind ladies when you ask questions. I’m Wordpress & ACDSee.

DreamScrapper, just link to the URL within your blog post & then let the blogging software create the trackback. It will be the other person’s blog that will catch it. It doesn’t look like my blog is catching Hummie’s trackbacks, but look in the left column at the bottom where it says “Latest posts of blogs linked here”. Heidi found that & created it. I think she gave the info to Hummie. It’s a nice addition to your blog.

This was definitely timely, Connie! Thank you for posting. I think I understand a bit better about tags and categories though on Blogger they are called labels. I have put up a list of labels but it could get quite lengthy – too bad there is no scrolling feature for it like with the Blog Roll! Not sure about the trackbacks yet. If I am making a post in reference to a post I read somewhere else, do I put that URL in the trackback?

I’ll keep on trying new things and researching this blog business . . . it is fun!
