More on TrackBack Timestamping

Most of the blognoscenti may well say that TrackBack is dead, but … just now, I realized that I hadn’t done proper linking between two entries, and so I sent a TB from an old entry to a new one. I thought about going in and editing the comment timestamp, and … I found that WordPress has implemented my old suggestion that TBs should be sent with the timestamp of when the source entry was posted, not when the target entry received the TB. Totally cool to me here at 0515. [Of course, just like most anything's funny in the middle of the night, most anything is cool to me first thing in the morning.]
