    Ian, you need to put a link to the Open Trackback and Comments post somewhere inside your post to be absolutely sure that the trackback shows up properly…. WPs “send trackback” feature is apparently buggy.

    I know that the seminar you did for us all in the Bunker Hall of Heroes was an absolute model of lucidity. But I confess I still don’t understand exactly what this feature is all about. Could you explain one more time?

    The membership of the Open Trackback Alliance commit to creating one open post per week on their respective blogs for others to link to. The trackback creates a link to the originating blog that accomplishes two things:

    [1] The link counts as an outbound link to the originating blog that helps raise the originator within the blogging ecosystem, sort of a leg up for new blogs.

    [2] As the OTA is generally made up of blogs with a relatively decent standing in the ecosystem, and have fairly stable readerships, the link gives the originating blog an audience they may not otherwise have access to.

    It’s quite the socialist exercise, started, oddly enough, by a solid rightie :-)

    Volgroups are wonderful.
