Dougal Campbell's geek ramblings

WordPress, web development, and world domination.

I’ve hacked together support for Pingbacks. There are pros and cons to Trackback and Pingback. Pingback is more automated. Trackback has wider support because it is integrated into the popular Movable Type blogware.

To speed implementation, I borrowed some of my code from the b2 blog system. Specifically, the code for sending a Pingback ping. But I coded the XML-RPC server-side pingback.ping method for incoming pings on my own. Currently, it’s still not fully tested. But it should work. If you’ve got a Pingback-enabled blog, link to this story and help me test 🙂
