mu.nu - It's mackerel stewed in chocolate!

A minor question

Can someone- slowly and using short words- explain to me how to make something trackback? I don't know if it's something I need to do when I link to a particular article or if it's the originating article's thing to do.
Also, an explanation of the box down below where you create a new entry, labeled "urls to ping" and how to do it, I'd be appreciative.
Yes, I RTFM, but I'm too techno-arrested to fully comprehend.

1 Do you have automatic discovery turned on? (You should have - I think I turned it on when I set you up.)

If so, any link to a post on a trackbackable blog will be trackbackalised automagically.

2 As for the URLs to ping box, if you copy the URL from the Trackback link under a post into that box, it will ping that blog even though you may not have a link to it in your post.

3 Also, aren't there certain sites that you want to ping so they know when you update?

(let's see Pixy come up with some more new and exciting words - like "trackbackalised" and "automagically")
