  Yesterday I put a link in my post to a previous post. Today there’s a comment in the previous post: part of the title and a little bit of the text of the post that linked to it. I’m not complaining. In fact, it’s convinent in this case! I’d just like to know if this is supposed to happen.

  Thanks.

  Yes, it’s supposed to happen. It’s called a trackback, and it’s a feature that lets you know when people have linked to you. There’s a time delay when they go up, but they should all show when people link to a specific post of yours.

  Ah, so that’s what that is. Thanks, Raincoaster! I guess I better mark this thread as “resolved.”
