WORDSMITH
Weblog & Publishing Tool

WORDSMITH can query a remote server and get information about a post you want to reference. The advantage over simple trackbacking is that you can store more information about the referenced post and display it with your post. WORDSMITH is looking for an RDF tag inside a normal HTML document, which is typically a single-post page in a blog archive. Do not try to reference main pages as they may contain multiple stories, and you'll therefore not be able to select the one you want to reference.

Most modern blogging packages, including WORDSMITH, provide RDF information about every post. You'll be able to view the following information about a post:

  1. Title
  2. Abstract
  3. Permanent link
  4. Trackback URL
  5. Author
  6. Publication date
