Re: [videoblogging] ping and ping back?
The same goes for Movable Type; I had to disable trackbacks (pingbacks) completely on my blog since the amount of trackbacks I was receiving was slowing down my site. The database just couldn't handle it. /Kelly -- http://kellybelly.net On Mar 17, 2006, at 14:41 , Pete Prodoehl wrote: One note in regards to WordPress...

The easiest way to describe the concept is remote comments. Sometimes you want to comment on a post that someone else wrote, but you'd rather write the comment on your own blog. Trackbacks and Pingbacks notify the original author that you've written a comment and it exists on your own site. The notification process also allows your remote comments to be included in the comments section of the original blog post. One note in regards to WordPress...

(This may have changed in v2.x) Really? I have never gotten pingback spam. I have gotten a lot of trackback spam. Wordpress verifies links recieved via pingbacks (it checks whether the webpage really does contain a link to you). Sucks if spammers are getting through that. -- Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen URL: http://www.solitude.dk/ Commentary on media, communication, culture and technology. Yahoo!
