I’ve been spending the last few days fooling around with various technical aspects of this blog and Movable Type, the application it runs on.
I’ve been vaguely interested in the TrackBack feature since MT 2.21 came out, but have sort of been stumped as to exactly why I would have it on my blog. Honestly, I’m still at somewhat of a loss, but wanting to be an early adopter I thought I’d add the feature and see what, if anything, comes of it. So, if I’ve configured this right, there should be a “TrackBack” link at the bottom of this post.
I also added a “Related Entries” section to individual post pages, courtesy of a Movable Type plug-in from Kalsey Consulting Group. An example can be seen here.
I’ve also implemented some other tips and tweaks, most of them found at this post at andersja’s blog (see his Movable Type category for others), as well as accessibility tips from Dive Into Accessibility, such as adding acronym tool tips and title tags to obscure link text.
