[The Micah Wright Remix Gallery is now open] Inside blogging stuff, plus Scott Baio and the Micah Gallery, filed below.
Do NOT trackback my posts unless you have linked them. It's just rude and a waste of my time and space. There's no reason for it. What is the point of trackbacking someone just so you can say "Hey I wrote about the same thing as you hours after you did, with all the same references as you, but I didn't reference you. Hey, wanna link me?" Also, hit "send" on your comments once. It may be slow, but that doesn't mean you have to click it ten times. You're probably the same kind of person who tries to fix the tv by kicking it. And, in case you are interested, there's one person who goes through the trouble each month of detailing the life and times and current whereabouts of Scott Baio in the comments on this post. I've begun to look forward to these missives in some strange way. Also: If I have yet to upload your poster to the Micah Wright Remix Gallery, or if you have a recent addition to make, you can now do it yourself simply by joining as a user and uploading your own posters. There are only 24 hours in a day and no matter how I try to squeeze and extra hour or two in, it never works out that way. So, DYI, people! And if anyone can figure out how to get a link to show up in that idiotic BBcode language that the gallery uses, I'd be grateful.

» Various Link-Luv™ from Ramblings of SilverBlue
I've decided to break down the Link-Luv™ into smaller, more digestible bits, with comments about what I'm linking to, more than just a sentence. Commissar has posted an article about revisionism (which you gentle Blog readers know that I abhor).... [Read More]

Someone should really write up a "blogging etiquette" document about things like this. Problem being every time someone proposes it, a bunch of people get all pissy and offended that anyone would DARE to sugest such a thing.

I might do it anyway just to annoy them. The trackback thing would be top of my list.

I hate the phantom trackback. I always check to see what people are writing when they track back, and I'm sometimes mystified when it's an entry that's got nothing to do with anything I've written.

Scott Baio gave me pink eye.

I have written other bloggers about this trackback issue before. The trackback isn't ONLY to let you know that other people are referencing your post.

It is also a way for another blogger to provide a comment or add a link to what he or she wrote on the subject without having to duplicate their blog post in your comments.

Imagine this scenario. A newbie blogger may read about the "proper" use trackback pings on Mena and Ben Trott's trackback guide, ping your blog, and then have their trackback deleted and informed that they are breaking an unwritten rule of blog etiquette.

Ideally, the linkage between blogs would be circular. But, so what if it isn't? I don't understand why you would have this requirement. I don't mind if people ping my posts without a link as long as they are on topic.

When bloggers insist that there has to be a reciprocal link to their own blog in return for a trackback, it limits value of the trackback as a method of content aggregation. If bloggers actually began to exploit this rather than using trackback as a link whoring tool, blogging could move to another level -- collaboration.

Here is what MT's "A Beginner's Guide to TrackBack" has to say:

"What Is TrackBack?

"In a nutshell, TrackBack was designed to provide a method of notification between websites: it is a method of person A saying to person B, "This is something you may be interested in." To do that, person A sends a TrackBack ping to person B.

"TrackBack ping: a ping in this context means a small message sent from one webserver to another.

"And why would person B be interested in what person A has to say?

"Person A has written a post on his own weblog that comments on a post in Person B's weblog. This is a form of remote comments--rather than posting the comment directly on Person B's weblog, Person A posts it on his own weblog, then sends a TrackBack ping to notify Person B.

"Person A has written a post on a topic that a group of people are interested in. This is a form of content aggregation--by sending a TrackBack ping to a central server, visitors can read all posts about that topic. For example, imagine a site which collects weblog posts about Justin Timberlake. Anyone interested in reading about JT could look at this site to keep updated on what other webloggers were saying about his new album, a photo shoot in a magazine, etc."
