I'm no expert, but to my knowledge all you have to do is link to the post that you want to ping back to. If the person's blog is on wordpress, it will pingback.

Yeah, from my experience, that is how you do it. I use to get a pingback each time I linked to one of my other pages without clicking on the page I wanted to link in wordpress… I would just type in the url to the page (this is before I realized I could just click the page to link within your own site). That would get a little annoying because it would show up in my comments and I had to approve it.

So my platform would have to wordpress, too….is that correct?  And are pingbacks the same as trackbacks?  Thanks guys…I really wish I was capable of figuring this out on my own. :x

For Wordpress, yes sort of. And Pingbacks are the same as Trackbacks. I have them turned off on my site because they are often used for Spammers to get free links. I don't see a lot of value in public trackbacks these days.
