No pingbacks yet
Doesn't seem to be much in the way of adoption of pingback amoung people in my circle of friends.
Hmmm. I have a record of a pingback request from Simon Willison, but somehow it didn't work... yet the pingback above from kryogenix worked.

There's a pingback-enabled test blog with a very verbose error log for exactly these situations -- go ahead and test yourself at www.dummy-blog.org

Ian, perhaps I missed it but I went there, used the user and password it provided, and I even created a new user/password; but even so I couldn't find an obvious buttons to push to create a new entry, no any documentation on any API that is supported.
P.S. rn.hixie.ch?

Simon's second pingback helped me debug the problem... I wasn't supporting URLs with '#' characters in them properly... instead I was rejecting the request as I was presuming the source was invalid.
Thanks!

sam: log in with the provided username/password, the form to add a new entry appears at the bottom of the index page.

Ian - I go to www.dummy-blog.org. At the bottom right, I click on Log In. I enter my user and password. Then I see the same page, except at the bottom it says "Log Out". I see no form. I click on index on the bottom left, and again I see no difference.
It's not overly important... at this point I have both sent and received pingbacks.

I'm planning on it, just haven't found any spare tuits laying around in the last month or so. :) I really want to throw together a unified comment system fed by referrers, TrackBack, PingBack, and HTML forms.
