Pingbacks to bloggers' home pages rather than specific posts
-
I’ve noticed that when I link to another blogger’s home page, it doesn’t notify them. If I link to a specific post of theirs, it notifies them, but a lot of times I want to link to their home page. Is there a way to do this where it will notify the blogger as well?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Trackbacks are a way to notify legacy blog systems that you’ve linked to them. If you link other WordPress blogs they’ll be notified automatically using pingbacks, no other action necessary. Think of trackbacks as the equivalent of acknowledgements and references at the end of an academic paper or chapter in a text book.

karathehuman – No problem. I’ll be happy to have a look. Could you share some examples with me here of where you’ve run in to this? What is your site URL?
