(unless you like it of course!) I decided I would try to implement trackback for those who want to take the opportunity to use them and the easiest way seemed to be to revert to MT’s default templates. If you are wondering what exactly trackback does and how to use it yourself, even after reading the link above then you are not alone! But I grok it enough to think it is pretty interesting so I thought I’d install first and ask questions later.

As best I can explain it, if your weblogging software supports Trackback (so far Moveable Type does as standard) or you do the coding to make it work yourself you can make a link to a post of mine and I will know that you have linked to it. It also allows you to keep track automatically of new postings I make in a category (for example). It badly needs better explanation, and support from a broader range of weblog software but it is an important step forward in making the web a two way communication medium instead of just a broadcast one.

I am still having trouble getting either trackback or comments to work properly on my archive pages, however. Any advice would be welcome… And of course I would be delighted if people would start using this new feature I have implemented – for starters it would help me to understand how it works!

Nick Denton, who was responsible for the creation of the very useful moreover news search engine, is paying someone to run a weblog about gadgets – gizmodo. It may not be as novel an idea as it appars – I have been reading Street Tech for a while, which incudes a weblog “Street Noise”, and I think it is a commercial enterprise.

I hope both it and Gizmodo find a way to make money (more discussion about profitability here). I agree with one of the people in that discussion that it would be a more compelling read if it had a point of view instead of merely informing you about the existence of products and articles.acoustic loan servicingloan software servicing absa payday loans week day 7conforming 2008 limit mac freddie loanbridging abbey loans nationalsloane aidanpawn akron loangovernment loans aboriginaladelaide loans personal bank5,000.00 in phoenix az loansringtones 6315i192 heather lane barrington ridgebarrington 3316of park harrington adeleaccapella beatbox ringtoneringtone a banjo dueling freenorwood street torrington connecticut 528100 ringtone mp3 sanyo Map

Someone put together a list of the top 30 UK weblogs and I found this weblog sitting there at #25… The other statistics available are a little more sobering – according to Alexa (used to do the ranking in the first place) this is (approximately) the 624,296th most popular site on the Internet, and my personal website is the 2,348,943th most popular. It could be worse – the website I created for my local urban regeneration group was too low to measure.

Not only can you search what 6800 webloggers are writing about – it also lets you see what the “top 40” links of the weblog community are at the moment and even see what the most popular items are that webloggers request on the Amazon wish lists that they often provide for benevolent strangers (I have one too!).

The most popular links tend to be a little geeky but there is usually at least one interesting link in the bunch – today I read that adcritic, the site that used to bring the public streaming video of its favourite advertising (before it went bust) has been taken over by Ad Age which will be relaunching it as a subscription-only service.tone ringtone polyphonic free 16ringtones 213ringtones free nokia 2600for cent 50 ringtones sprintringtone emergency 51ringtone mobile 2 sidekick tcent do how ringtones we 50mp3 ringtone 6630 as Map

Every week I am emailed a list of the keywords people have searched this site for when they use the search box at the right (don’t worry – it doesn’t tell me who makes these searches). No more than one in ten of these seem to be searching for anything that makes sense to me, however. I just don’t understand what these people are looking for and why they think I might have alluded to it.

I am even starting to wonder whether somehow I might be getting someone else’s searches… Here are the 12 searches made last week:

200 million
200 million hours
dilmah
filipino
megan schoendorf
new survey
pedo
phillipines
sdfg
tabb

Could anyone who made one of those searches tell me why? Any other strange search stories people would like to share?
