There's been a lot of discussion about trackbacks. We finally had to resort to manual trackbacks. However, after fixing the tag cloud, I felt so full of motivation that I decided to tackle trackback autodiscovery. Here's the scoop:
- Log into your blog.
- Select Settings > New Entry Defaults
- Uncheck both "Enable External TrackBack Auto-Discovery" and "Enable Internal TrackBack Auto-Discovery"
- Rebuild your blog
- Then check both "Enable External TrackBack Auto-Discovery" and "Enable Internal TrackBack Auto-Discovery"
- Rebuild again
Now, every time you link to a specific blog post, the software will examine the page you are linking to and automatically trackback to it.
I'm not sure if every step I listed is necessary, but that's what worked for me.
