How it works?
Blogtal.com collects members' lastest content via trackback interface from thier own blog. Trackback is a protocol initialy used in Movable Type. Everytime a member's site is updated, it will send a trackback to blogtal.com. At blogtal.com, all latest trackback pings will be shown live at the main page.
Each registered member can have multiple blog profile (currently support up to 5 blog profiles). Each blog profile represent a member's blog or member's blog's sub-categories and each blog profile has a category in blogtal.com. Each blog profile will have an unique trackback URL. That means, blogtal.com will categorize each received trackback according to thier originated blog profile.
Example
| Your blog categories | Blog profile at Blogtal.com |
| Software, Linux, Windows | Software and Platform |
| Recipe, Restaurant, Wine | Food and Drink |
