response to comment question (Rosie's Blog)I would happen to agree with Aparna's response about the comments...UNLESS....
We're supposed to be using trackbacks to previous posts.....instead of making comments?
I guess the jury's still out on this! What do you think Professor Gibson?
Well, you are using the trackback URL where you should be using the post's permalink. Second, yes use posts on your own blog to comment on what other people are talking about on their blogs. That's how you get credit.
Now, let me give a quick discussion of trackbacks. Conceptually, a trackback let's you put a link on the blog you are writing about back to your blog. Our blogging software can automatically figure out how to communicate with the other blog to achieve this. Therefore, all you need to do is link to the blog you are writing about. This topic would be interesting for someone in the class to research. Here's a link to a wikipedia article to start.
