1. 1	by CindyS August 20th, 2006 at 5:12 am Okay, I’ve discovered that I can’t any of the links to work on this page so it might be my machine. I’ll check back later to see if other are able to do it. CindyS – too brain dead right now to figure this out!

2. 2	by Nicole August 20th, 2006 at 8:50 am The excerpt link at the end doesn’t work. I think you need the http in with the url.

3. 3	by Jane August 20th, 2006 at 9:04 am Thanks Nicole. All fixed.

4. 4	by Karen Scott August 20th, 2006 at 12:38 pm I’ll post this tomorrow, I already have two posts up today! This should be very successful methinks!

5. 5	by Kristie(J) August 20th, 2006 at 1:19 pm I’m in and linked!

6. 6	by Holly August 20th, 2006 at 1:24 pm I posted this on my site, too. Verra interesting.

7. 7	by Karen Scott August 20th, 2006 at 1:37 pm OK, I put it up, seeing as I’ll probably be MIA til Wednesday!

8. 8	by Karen Scott August 20th, 2006 at 1:39 pm Oh, how do I track back?

9. 9	by Meljean August 20th, 2006 at 1:52 pm I put it up, but my blog platform doesn’t do trackbacks — the link is here.

10. 10	by Charlene August 20th, 2006 at 3:41 pm What a great idea! I’ve set my entry to post tomorrow morning. I’ve been looking forward to this book ever since I saw the cover. It sounds fanastic!

11. 11	by Erin the Innocent August 20th, 2006 at 4:57 pm The book sounds fantastic! I’d like to be a part of this : )

12. 12	by Nonny August 20th, 2006 at 4:58 pm I’m in… are track-backs supposed to show up in the comments field or are you guys getting notifications just by email?

13. 13	by Jane August 20th, 2006 at 5:36 pm Unfortunately, Nonny, my trackbacks don’t seem to be working, but i am keeping track here

14. 14	by Rosario August 20th, 2006 at 5:57 pm Ok, done! This is such a great idea!

15. 15	by Carol Burnside August 20th, 2006 at 7:00 pm I participated, but can’t get the picture to load. Tried about 6 times and gave up. Everything else posts. Does that work?

16. 16	by Marg August 20th, 2006 at 7:26 pm I’m done! Although I have no idea how to Trackback! The link is Here

17. 17	by Maura Anderson August 20th, 2006 at 9:24 pm I just put it up at: Realms of the Raven

18. 18	by Dorothy Thompson August 21st, 2006 at 1:20 am I’m in and what a cool way to promote!

19. 19	by Menage a Kat August 21st, 2006 at 1:32 am Because experiments are fun!… I am participating in a blogging experiment hosted at dearauthor.com. What fun!…

    by CindyS August 21st, 2006 at 4:37 am So, I’m a huge dunce because I couldn’t figure out why the ‘code’ page didn’t have the HTML tags all showing so I could paste it in my HTML window. You guys have magic shit that you just paste in the dummy mode. Super cool. Yeah, so I just posted at my blog cindyl.blogspot.com CindyS

21. 21	by Mandy M. Roth August 21st, 2006 at 7:45 am I posted it but I’m not smart enough to work the trackbacks…okay, I don’t even know what those are. *hiding in corner with dunce blogging cap on*

22. 22	by J. Salyers August 21st, 2006 at 8:11 am Posted this in my blog as well, though I’m also not sure how to do trackbacks. It can be found here

    by Carol Burnside August 21st, 2006 at 9:17 am I posted it but I’m not smart enough to work the trackbacks…okay, I don’t even know what those are. Don’t feel bad, Mandy, there’s plenty of us in the same (Trackback) boat with you. Is it simply a link back to the original post? Is it html code we need to put in? Is it already built in and we did it but don’t know it? LOL! Inquiring minds are waiting to be educated!!!

24. 24	by Jennifer B August 21st, 2006 at 9:21 am Put the code up at: http://donttalkjustread.blogspot.com/ Thanks, Jennifer B

25. 25	by Jane August 21st, 2006 at 9:26 am Theoretically, trackbacks are simply links in a post that “trackback” to the original post. The magical link is supposed to be in the code and sometimes it is working and sometimes not, but I think I am still catching every one. :)

26. 26	by Zeek August 21st, 2006 at 9:58 am Blog it! Although I have a question. The Code link to downloard for posting isn’t really a html code? Or am I assuming something? Anyway I got all the links in! My Blog

27. 27	by Zeek August 21st, 2006 at 10:00 am yeesh. Sorry for the double post. And I see someone answered my question! Thanks!

28. 28	by Amanda Brice August 21st, 2006 at 3:06 pm I blogged it today. :)

29. 29	by Kristina Cook August 21st, 2006 at 3:46 pm As a new-ish author myself, I’m always up for an experiment like this. It’s up on my MySpace blog.

30. 30	by Missy Shears August 21st, 2006 at 6:08 pm hi Nalini, this is so cool! I hope this entes me in the contest. thanks, missy

31. 31	by Ash arceneaux (diva ashley) August 21st, 2006 at 9:43 pm I blogged ya!! Both at my myspace and my blog!

32. 32	by Sienna Dawn August 22nd, 2006 at 12:34 am Hey Nalini, This is a great idea. How cool. I’ve got you blogged on both my Sienna blog and my Ember blog. Not sure about the trackback code though. Hope it worked. K, so I admit I’m an HTML dummy. LOL. Good luck with the book. Sienna

33. 33	by Sela August 22nd, 2006 at 7:11 am You’re up at my blog, Nalini! I’m another trackback eejit, but I got the cover, blurb and excerpt link going.

34. 34	by Meredith August 23rd, 2006 at 7:04 am I’d like to be a part of this

35. 35	by Katy Hamann August 23rd, 2006 at 7:40 am This is on my blog. :-) Sounds terrific!

36. 36	by Abookworm August 23rd, 2006 at 9:25 am Count me in this! The post is up at a bookworm’s diary And like others before me, I’ve no idea what trackbacks/permalinks are. Help!

37. 37	by Devon August 23rd, 2006 at 2:01 pm I just wanted to let you know that’s it’s up on my blog as well. Blogger help tells me they do not support trackbacks, I will attempt to permalink later.

38. 38	by Linda August 23rd, 2006 at 4:45 pm I have posted it on my LiveJournal site. Here is my link with the information http://prettylindy.livejournal.com/ Hugssss Linda.H.
