A couple of questions

What exactly is trackback? pinging? How does it work? Can you point me to a 'blogging for dummies' site for answers?

Coming right down to it, the "Pixy" part is easy, but is that last bit 'Meesa' or 'Misa'?

Werds is importnent, thass wyy I use so manne uv them.

Trackback lets you know when someone links to the archive URL for the post, rather than to the blog itself.

F'rinstance; let's say Susie writes a post titled "My Cat Stinks", and you want to link to it on your blog. You might write "Susie has a funny post about her cat's aroma...", and want to highlight the word "post" and make it a link.
Rather than typing in the URL for her blog, go to the sidebar's "Recent Entries", click on "My Cat Stinks", and you'll find out the specific URL for the post. If you link to THAT then Susie will get a Trackback. WOO HOO!!

I'd like to know about the pronunciation of Misa, too. I usually say/think "mEEsa", though sometimes I say "mIsa" just to try it.

Ooops, just realized the question was answered in the next entry. Move along, now. Nothing to see here.

Either way, it will probably be pronounced Meeesar to my hearing, seeing as it is an Australian's name...

Seriously, do they think that this is going to make us visit?
Is there a way to stop this stuff?

Well, there's are ways and there are ways...

There's a new anti-spam plugin I need to have a look at.

Yeah, if I want to look at big...umm, I'll shut up now.

Thank God you showed up...instead of going to a doctor to get a prescription for my Viagra, I've been waiting for a comment spammer to offer it!
