How do i use trackbacks on my blog

  • I want to have every post i make be able to be trackbacked. How do i implement this? blogger automated it. From what i can tell i have to do it manually with wordpress for every post? Links are appreciated but i have read the codex and i probably missed the simple way.

  • Just so we are talking about the same thing, from Introduction to Blogging this is the explanation for trackbacks:

    TrackBack was designed to provide a method of notification between websites: it is a method of person A saying to person B, “This is something you may be interested in.” To do that, person A sends a TrackBack ping to person B.

    They are usually turned on by default, so there isn’t much for you to do. But if they are not working, in the Administration Panel > Options > Discussion, check the box that says “Allow link notifications from other Weblogs (pingbacks and trackbacks.)”. Trackbacks are then turned on.

    That’s it.

    And every post you make won’t be trackbacked. Only posts that other people make about your posts will get a trackback. There are articles and plugins that will also help you separate your trackbacks from your comments, but that’s a different issue.
