Neither this log or WeatherGirl’s can receive PingBacks, but SubEvilBoy’s weblog can! Same code, same host, blah, blah, blah. How weird is that! I posted a long question about it on the WordPress support forums, but haven’t heard back yet. The fact that I probably posted in the wrong forum and at the end of a long thread that developer’s may be frustrated with suggest a certain lack of tactical skill (or at least sleep) on my part when I posted it.
My sense is that this is all fixed in the 1.5 beta of WordPress, but I’d really like someone to post a clear solution for people (like us) with 1.2.2 installs, both because not everyone wants to (or can) update to a beta, and because having a key feature broken in what is advertised as the stable release hurts what is a demonstrably wonderful project.
OK, I think I was just being silly. It was broken, but then it magically got better. Is there some sort of time thing where have to wait a while for it to begin to work?
Who knows – but it appears to be all better now.
