Explanations of remote post and ComeBack

I was going to sit down and write up a little bit of documentation for remote post and ComeBack, but I was pretty busy this weekend and Ben beat me to it.

Now, let me give you a bit more of a technical description of those two:

ComeBack
A ComeBack ping consists of the following fields at the moment:

• name: name of the person writing the comment


• email: email of the person writing the comment


• url: url of the person writing the comment


• comment: the comment itself


• agent: the system or blog through which the comment was posted

remote post
A remote post ping consists of the following fields at the moment:

• title: the title of the original entry


• url: the url of the original entry


• excerpt: the full text of the original entry (field name is excerpt to be compatible with Trackback)


• blog_name: the name of the blog containing the origina entry


• category: the name of the category to which the remote post entry should be posted


• cb_url: the ComeBack url for the entry, should any comments be posted (not implemented yet)
