A White House ‘Blog would kick some serious ass.

UserLand has a new feature for testing: TrackBack for news items oriented Manila sites. If you’re comfortable running beta software, please help us test the new feature: Follow these instructions on the manila-dev mail list.

For those not familiar with it, Trackback is a set of specifications published by SixApart, the company that develops Movable Type. It’s is used to notify sites when you create a post which links to the other site.

Manila supports both outbound and inbound TrackBack pings, as well as auto-discovery.

The robots.txt feature we’ve been working on for the last day or so has been released. Manila now generates robots.txt files, based on preferences set by Managing Editors.

See this page on the Manila website for details about the new feature.
