Okay, I've peeked around in there...
And, here's what I found. I went to Weblog configuration, into preferences. Everything was enabled (checked) except anonymous commenting and something that said "Auto-link URL's?" (Note: If html is allowed in comments, this command is ignored.) I checked it, anyway. I think html is allowed in comments, too.
It says it pings blo.gs and weblogs.com and there is a place to type in "Others"-Seperate URL's by...doing something, like hitting 'Enter'...I forget. Anyway, do individual URL's, or group URL's or both go there? And, more importantly, how do you know who wants to be pinged? Do I just add all the URL's in the blogroll? There is also something called a notification list. This asks for email addresses with URL's being 'optional', I think. What's this? Can you use it and just go by URL's? To me, emailing people just to say "I posted some more drivel" is weird. Anyhow, I don't think I did much in there. If all the MT weblog configuration pages are the same, and anyone uses it and everything works, can I just do whatever you did? Just check what you've got checked? It's not beyond the scope of my imagination to give one of you guys the password, if there is one, to get in there yourselves. You couldn't possibly do any worse than I would...My old Blogsnot archives are still fried...lol.UPDATE some 15 minutes and one 'ice-pick in my forehead-type pain' later:
Whom wrote the MT User Manual? Did they not speak English? Have mercy...I read the Trackback section and ...I think that was a mistake.
Criminy.

It's really simple, Stevie. At least, it is once you have the "Autodiscovery" thingy turned on, which you should have. Hang on one moment while I ping you... Done! I just pinged you from Munuviana.
Now, if you want to ping that post on Munuviana, just put in a line that says <a href="http://munuviana.mu.nu/archives/005003.html">Pixy pinged me</a> and viola! Movable Type will look at the link, guess that it's another blog, work out how to ping it, and send the ping, all automagically.

That is, you put that text in an appropriate place in the middle of a post. No need to mess around with anything else, just put that link in the post and the ping will, um, ping.

The people who wrote the how-to for MT are allegedly the same people who translate stereo assembly instructions directly from Swedish into ebonics or something.
Not that I don't appreciate MT in the hugest way. It beats the snot outta Blogspot.

Ummmm...
rotfl...
Okay. I passed out earlier. After I got Eric out to work and whatnot, I had to go to sleep for a while.
This stuff was still pretty fuzzy, then. Now, I'm back and it's still kinda fuzzy, but more because I'm not all the way awake yet.
But, Pixy's posts made me giggle. I'll hafta re-read them in another cuppa coffee or so.
LeeAnn-What gets me is they write the shit like everybody KNOWS what they're talking about. "Style sheets, CSS feeds, and the dreaded word 'TEMPLATE'." They go blythly on, spewing words, letters and info that any MIT graduate should be able to understand.
I, on the other hand, begin to bleed from my eyeballs just reading it...lol.
I will get this. Dagnabit!
