A speed bump on the information super highway.

When I was using MT, I would get trackbacks all the time. When I posted using MT, it would go though my post and try to send trackbacks for each link in my post.
Sending trackbacks seems to work. I tested it with my test wordpress.com site. But when I try to send a trackback to this site from the wordpress.com site. It doesn’t seem to work.
Could someone please point me to some WP help with trackbacks.
Thanks,jb

I upgraded to MT 3.33 tonight. I was really looking forward to their new sidebar widget thingy. But so far I’m not impressed. I can’t find any sites with additional widgets to install.
I also setup a test WordPress site this weekend, they to have a sidebar widget and there are tons of widgets for wordpress….I’ll give MT some more time, but I’m really thinking of switching.
I know Phil did at http://www.stonewerks.net/ and has been VERY happy he did.
We’ll see….
Have a good night.

Trackback spammers have recently been flooding blogs with spam, often with hundreds per day. Although MT’s Spam Lookup plugin junks most of the spam, the flood of trackbacks can put a strain on server resources. To take a look at the amount of trackback spam you may be getting, click on “Trackbacks” from your main blog menu, then select “Junk Trackbacks”.
Listed here are some defensive measures you can take.

The plugin has a junk filter that can moderate comments and trackbacks that are submitted a certain amount of time after the original entry was posted, or after the last comment/trackback was posted. You can also flag such comments as junk instead of moderating them, and even scale the junk rating so that it increases the longer the entry has been idle.
