The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns: OTA and Friends

Support This Site

This is an open trackback forum, as well as open thread.

If you have an article you would like to promote, you can trackback from this article as long as you link this article in your article.

If you'd like to become an OTA member, read the Open Trackback Alliance information and follow the instructions.

What some OTA members are saying:

Those Bastards shares his take on Bush's Veteran's Day speech.

Stray Dog shares with us a disturbing image of the real Superman.

TMH's Bacon Bits takes a look at what's to come for France after the riots have calmed. A thought-provoking read on how this may be a future issue for European countries and the US alike, as a result of high fertility rates, economic problems, unemployment, and an underlying fear within immigrants.

Stop the ACLU is having a weekend trackback party, as well, for those interested. And, while you're there, check out the article on An Historical Example of Judicial Activism; it is a rather compelling read on the Cantwell v. Connecticut decision and how it affects US religious freedom.

ADVICE: Trackback articles you want to promote that are still on your main blog page, rather than articles about open trackbacks. You'll still get a link either way but this way you can showcase your work (and thus are more likely to attract a reader).

Well... since neither Haloscan nor Wiizbang!'s trackback tools seem to ping correctly (or maybe somewhere down the road today you'll recieved multiple trackbacks--heh), here's my (first) post of the day:

...others to follow.

Haloscan seems to be working fine for me.

David,

It was working, just that my trackbacks are moderated when they are not pinged from the blog which they are linked to... It's a moveable type feature which prevents many-a-spam trackbacks.

Haloscan/Wizbang are third party pingers so they automatically get put into the moderation folder until I wake up from my slumber and say they aren't spam.

I saw both pings actually, but only put one up (since the other was a duplicate).

I found some moveable type plugins which should handle the spam aspect better and not moderate links as much.

Hey Sam,

I will add you to my blogroll as soon as I summon the will to move my slug-like ass off the sofa!

Thanks for the party,
Jake
