Pings?

So lemme see if I got this straight. I post something like "kd has installed the new MT trackback feature on the main Surreally site," and if I tell it to ping, it becomes a reference to that post? I think I'm unclear on the concept here.

If I make a post and tell it to ping this post, your TB count will increase by 1 and the pop up box will show the details of my post. People will then be able to come and read my post and see what I said about your post.

There you go - I just posted, referencing your post. Your TB count shows 1 and the pop-up shows the details of my post. Nifty, eh?

Right. Seeing it in action makes it all much clearer!

now, i've pinged your entry, and if you go get the ping info off surreally's ping post, paste it into the "urls to ping" section of this post, and save the post again, it will ping surreally's post.

and we'll be cross linked.

i got zero response from other surreallists on this, it may be a case of you can lead a blogger to the trackback, but you can't make him ping.

we shall see. this thing has inspired much confusion, but as soon as we all get it sorted out, it'll really be a great feature.
