The instructions are provided by Staff on the blog the writing 101projects are published on. http://dailypost.wordpress.com
Suffice to say that anytime you create a properly formed link that’s backlinking to a post on any other site and publish your post the software sends a ping by default. You do nothing at all.
Go to Dashboard > Setti8ngs > Discussion
check these Default article settings
__Default article settings Attempt to notify any blogs linked to from the article
__Allow link notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks)
__Allow people to post comments on new articles
scroll down an click “save changes”If you do not change this allow trackbacks and pingbacks setting on any individual post then the default will apply. http://en.support.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/discussion-metabox.png?w=688
This is the guide for creating links in posts and pages: http://en.support.wordpress.com/links/
This is the general link model for creating a properly formed link:
<a href="URL HERE">Highlighted anchor text here</a>
This is the visual result – it’s not actually linked.
Highlighted anchor text here1. Enter the anchor text you want to link to first. Select the title of the post on the other site you want to backlink to.
2. Then use your mouse to highlight that anchor text. (If you don’t highlight the anchor text the chain icon will remain grayed out and not be useable.)
3. Next click the chain icon in the editor and proceed to create the link. -
