Hi Bernard,I’m glad to hear the tutorial was hefulpl for you. However, I’m a little worried about the privacy issues regarding trackback and pingback though.Why? Trackbacks and pingbacks don’t send personally identifiably information unless you put it in your post.When I made the reference to sending a pingback/trackback to the same blog, it was mainly for WordPress 1.5 users and below. In the earlier versions of WordPress, it allowed both links to slip through, however, the newer versions of WordPress 1.5.0.x and up will take the pingback in favor of the trackback (only publishing a single link).If the blog you’re linking to isn’t WordPress, it’s relatively safe to assume you need to trackback and don’t need to worry about pingbacks at all.So, am I correct to say that a blog owner should turn off either Pingback or Trackback in the WordPress->Options->Discussion? to avoid having two linkback?No, because there is no way to disable either or. You either have trackbacks and pingbacks enabled or you don’t.If you’re running the latest version of WordPress, you needn’t worry about the two-link problem.I just want to know whether you enabled both pingback and trackback on your site Trackbacks/pingbacks are enabled on this post, however, they are enabled on a post by post basis on the site itself.p.s. is there a RSS comment feed that I can add?The beauty of WordPress (when pretty permalinks are enabled) is that you can slap /feed/ to just about any URL to create an RSS feed. Hope I’ve answered your questions, if you have any others, don’t hesitate to ask. ~ Teli
