1. The comment facility will open and way down the bottom of this you will see an underscored word
trackback. This is apparent at the end of the statement "

3. Click this and the
Trackback Wizard form created by Peter Forret will open. This is just slightly different to the original in that it has some mark-ups already placed.

Trackback URL5. You should notice that your blog title is prefilled along with your own posts'
Trackback URL.
6. Obviously the
excerpt is up to you and the "
Title of post" you fill in.
I would like to thank Grace Hu-Morley for her very interactive input, critical analysis of the method and terminology and for suggestions on aspects that require some follow up. Grace made the process much quicker for me than I expected and the outcome is almost as good as I could hope for because of this.
