Trackbacks

Site improvement
TuscanyCircle has trackbacks! If you don't know what they are, just ignore them. Otherwise, we encourage their legitimate use, because it'll raise visibility of the site (not to mention being good netiquette).
You'll see the trackback field below your blog post body. Remember to properly link to the original article in your blog body in addition to using the original article's trackback link in your blog post's trackback field.
There should be protections in place against spamming trackbacks, but if they become a serious problem, I may end up choosing to disable trackbacks. Let's hope not, though.

lots of trackback spam

Now that TuscanyCircle's trackback capability has been discovered by spambots, trackback spam is coming in regularly and accelerating. Having enabled another anti-spam module, though, these are now being caught automatically; I don't even have to reject them from the trackback moderation queue!
I really like Drupal!

I just had an opportunity to do my first trackback. Pretty cool. If you go to the linked article, you'll see the trackback in the comment list.
Sadly, we have not yet had a legitimate trackback sent to TuscanyCircle. Lots of attempts by spammers (they're 100% blocked automatically), but nothing genuine yet. Despite all our frequent visitors from around the world, I guess we're just not popular enough yet.
spammed
We just got our first trackback spam--3 of them. Trackbacks are moderated on TuscanyCircle, so these spam were simple to identify and delete. A month ago, I never would have dreamed of this bizarre method of spamming.
