How to use trackbacks

Most blogs will display somewhere a “Trackback URI”, which you copy, and then paste into this field when composing a new entry. For example, this poston your blog has at the bottom of the post the following information:

This entry was posted on Tuesday, July 5th, 2005 at 9:16 am and is filed under Commentary. You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed. You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.

I’ve removed all the links except the trackback, to make it clear which link you would copy-and-paste.

There is also a basic intro on this Codex page:

Thanks for your reply. I believe I understand now. Thanks much!!

oh…one more…what file do I edit to remove the all the links except “trackback” like you suggested??

comments.php

You’re using the default theme, so it will live in /wp-content/themes/default/

weird…I had to edit single.php to get rid of the extra links except for trackback….I wonder what’s up

h…one more…what file do I edit to remove the all the links except “trackback” like you suggested??

That wasn’t a suggestion by skippy to remove those links. That was done to make it easier to direct your attention to the correct link.

I would suggest you leave them in (but it’s your call). It would allow your readers to follow the discussion via the RSS feed.

i see…..thanks all…
