I just created the “Online Tools” page section, and added the first tool to the list.

What is it? It’s a form that let’s you send a trackback to a blog from any website. It might sound silly, but trust me… it’s not.

I faced this problem with another website of mine (Babel). I was using a CMS (cmsmadesimple) instead of a blogging platform.

Still, I had some blog-like posts using a module in the CMS. I wanted to be able to trackback to someone else’s blog to signal that I was referencing their post, but there was no trackback functionality in cmsmadesimple.

I looked into writing a full plugin and tag for cmsmadesimple, but I decided it would be easier to just write a simple form and a script to do the work for me. Thus, the trackback-via-form tool was born.

You can read more about trackbacks and why you need this form, or just head over to the form and start submitting pings to blogs.
