 * “For example, Fred is reading Edward’s weblog and comes upon a particular article
   he finds humorous, so he decides to make a post about it on his own weblog. If
   Track Back is used, Edward can be notified that Fred has posted the article on
   his website. An extract from Fred’s post will also appear on the comments/trackback
   page of Edward’s original post.”
    If Track Back is used… OK… how excactly can
   I use Track Back when I create an entry about an entry in another blog?
