PROBLEM HALF SOLVED - UPDATED 5-24-05

Contagion of Miasmatic Review has made it easier for Haloscan users to RECEIVE trackbacks:

The code allows programs that use an auto detection feature for trackback pings to work with blogs that have installed Haloscan comments. This code doesn’t really help bloggers like myself; I still have to do the manual trackbacks. It does help all the bloggers that are using programs with auto detection to quickly and easily leave me a trackback.

Copy & paste, a little quick replacement and BOOM! (as John Madden would say).

SENDING them is still a pain in the ass, but at least now you'll know when an MT user is linking to you.

Now if only Haloscan would implement their damn autodetect feature like they've been promising to do for the last year.

UPDATE 4-13-05: Ogre of Ogre's Politics & Views has a post on the same feature.

UPDATE 5-24-05: [If you've found this post useful enough to blog about, send a trackback or e-mail the permalink to me at harvolson-at-gmail.com and I'll add you to my Bad Example Groupies blogroll. See this post for details]

Excerpt: B4B has a good solution for trackback spam. Other blogs have had good information on adding trackbacks and alternatives to trackback. I have included a number of the good ideas here, and have links to others.
