 * Hi,
 * I am just now looking into the pingback and trackback phenomenon. For one, I 
   don’t completely understand it (though would like to, so if you have any reading,
   please pass my way).
 * And two: how do I include another blogger’s comments about my post in my “comments”
   section as I have seen in various other sites automatically ? I can get the trackback
   url easily enough … but what do I have to do to make the comments work?
 * Thanks,
    Damon

 * 2. You cannot. They have to use the ping or trackback feature in their blog to
   ping or send a TB to you.
    All you can do: set your blog to allow it. See admin
   > Options > Discussion
 * 3.For testing your pings and TB see this site:
