Since I am trying to figure out ways for us to use MT at school for our students and teachers, I feel obligated to learn as much as I can about all of the features available to me. The following document:
movabletype.org : TrackBack Explanation
has given me some ideas about what to do.
I also think I will be able to use TrackBacks and Pings for the Spynotebook instead of Spytop. Since I changed servers, Spytop won’t work and I don’t really want to mess with with getting the java app to work on my host.
