I just created a new account on Blogharbor. I am attempting to understand some of the features such as pings and trackbacks. I have a second blog on another host. The software is word press. Using that account, I'm trying to understand how to ping and use trackbacks between the two accounts. Though I have read a number of post re. this topic, I'm still not sure how this works. Pings and trackbacks are turned on in both accounts.

Perhaps it I could find a step by step guide to creating a trackback from my BH account to my other word press account that might get things rolling .

As for pings, you don't really need to worry about those. Pings are notifications to blogging services like Technorati, my.yahoo.com, PubSub etc. and we will notify these services on your behalf if you make a new post.

As for trackbacks, this page has a little more info:

http://demo.blogharbor.com/blog/_archives/2004/6/15/87884.html

We also try to parse the post when you submit it and determine where we can send a trackback to automatically. So make a post with a link to an article on your current blog and see if we're able to send a trackback there automatically. If not, then next time note the Trackback URL on the article on that remote blog and enter it when you create an article on your BlogHarbor blog. Remeber that you need to post an article in order to send a trackback, you can't only send a trackback; a trackback is sent by an article you create.

Wellll... if you find a trackback didn't get through because of communication errors, or you'd like to issue a trackback to a blog from a page which isn't a blog, you can use an online trackback ping sender.

Here's one I use for those situations: Simpletracks.
