Anybody know anything good about hooking braid backing to the end of a fly line?

The title of this thread got my attention. Might be a good subject to discuss in another thread.

There are several ways to do it. This was just covered on Dan Blanton's site. Here is the link: http://www.danblanton.com/viewmessage.php?id=195697

Most of the new fly lines have a welded loop on both ends which make it all very easy.
If there is no loop on the back of the fly line I would 'nail knot' or 'needle nail knot' the backing to the fly line.
Here are some YouTube videos on how to do it:
