Tue, 04 Mar 08 - Version 0.2 of the del.icio.us trackback extension

I finally got round to compiling the del.icio.us trackback extension I wrote about a while back.

You can install it from the installation.html¹ page on the del.icio.us trackbacks google group. Feel free to use that group to post any questions you have too.

Current features:

• Scans the html of the page you’re bookmarking looking for a link (anchor) with a rel attribute whose value is trackback.
• Sends a request to the trackback URI if it was found.
• Records (by adding the ‘dtb-sent’ tag) the sending of the trackback so that we can avoid sending multiple trackbacks to the same site.
• Records the success (‘dtb-success’ tag) or failure (‘dtb-failure’) of the trackback request.

That’s all for now.

¹ I don’t appear to be able to link directly to that page which is a bit odd.
