I keep meaning to write a small serious of posts on tips for using .Text.  I already have another one written, but we will jump ahead.

Sam Ruby wrote, “Unfortunately, it appears that trackbacks from .Text do not contain excerpts.  Pity that. “. That's not 100% true. Trackbacks from .Text do contain excerpts, however, it is up to the blogger to add the excerpt. I really do not like the idea of just grabbing the first N number of characters, so I instead rely on a explicit excerpt.  So please, when you link to others, be kind and include an excerpt :). Hopefully, over the next couple of weeks I can fill in some of the other user documentation holes.

Also, a Scott Cadillac pointed out, there is a new known bug in .Text trackbacks, where the trackback will show up two times. The first will have the correct date, the second will have an unitialized date. I am still trying to figure out how this is happening. I recently revamped how trackbacks are executed, so hopefully I crushed the bug by accident. :)
