You can create a link on your blog (or web page) to an entry on another blog by copying the trackback URL for that article and posting it on your own site.
A trackback URL is not the URL of a blog entry, but is a specific URL generated for managing trackback links.
1. Navigate to the page of the blog that contains the entry to which you want to link:
| 2. | Beneath the article to which you want to create a trackback link, click Permanent Link. The page refreshes, and displays a Trackback URL, similar to the one shown below: |
| 3. | Copy the entry's Trackback URL, and then logout from the blog. |
| 4. | Login to your blog's Control Panel, and click the Post tab. |
| 5. | On the Article Options panel on the Post Article page, click the arrow beside Advanced Options to expand it. |
| 6. | In the Trackback URLs to Notify (Ping) textbox, paste the Trackback URL of the article to which you want to link. |
| 7. | In the Article Title field, type a name for the link. |
| 8. | In the Article Body textbox, type any comments you may have regarding the link. |
| 9. | Click the Save button. |
The link is saved as an article on your blog, while the blog containing the original entry shows that a trackback has been created for it.
