You could see in an instant who had linked to you.

Who faffed around with this function? And, who is going to "un-faff" it?

If this can't be done, you might as well do away with this function altogether. Rather this than have one that makes no sense whatsoever.

But try Technorati.com. It's not perfect, but it's the best there is.

It probably won't be ranked, but they have a button to click for "Sites Linking in" and you may get some information there.

To do that, wordpress would have to index and contantly scan the entire internet and the hundreds of millions of domains continuously.

You might hit one of the search engines and see if something is available online.

If you have a wordpress.COM blog, then "incoming links" do not show who has linked you in their blogroll. They used to show blogs that had links to your posts, but it's had some issues lately, and I find they are now just about useless. Just my opinion on their value.

For whatever reason the FAQ search is better. Google, when you search for "issue site:en.forums.wordpress.com" is the best though.

Thanks, justjennifer - that is the thread I was looking for, and even when putting the exact heading into the searchbar, it doesn't show up.

The email makes sense, I could of course do that, but I already have too many mail addresses.

Hmm...you all say sound things, and I shall think about this. I have a "contact me" form on my blog, so it is quite possible to reach me without picking a random post (in fact, I would not mind comments and questions, if it was in a technical/vaguely related post). I am not sure if I am interested in setting rules in stone, though. Thanks, all.

About the email thing, maybe set up another account email account to be used only for "special" purposes. And you don't have to answer, or maybe answer in your comments by editing the comment rather than by replying to the comment.

and my very short comment policy is now in my sidebar.

By the way, Lorelle had a very good discussion on a new type of spam comment that sound a lot like what you posted. I'll see if I can find a link.

People were asking her to identify insects, diagnose medical conditions, and other stuff in comments. So people on the forum suggested that she come up with a "spam and comments policy" which she has posted in a text widget on her blog.

Sorry I can't find the discussion, but that might be an idea for you to let readers know that you don't want to answer technical questions.

I know there was a thread on this a little while back, but cannot for the life of me find it (was it ellaella or genteldove.. :-S or someone else..?)

I thought it a non-problem then, about editing peoples comments to my posts - after all, I don't get a lot of traffic, and I am suprised and chuffed when people bother to read anything I have written.
And apart from protecting people from themselves, such as removing personal information about them, editing comments seemed like not really fair.

But here is the thing - I have been getting a few technical questions tagged on after things like "nice photo, by the way can you tell me how to.."

I do not feel like emailing them back, especially if it is a penguin. Sharing out my email to the waddlers seems like a bad idea.

So what do you guys do? I do not want my blog to be a forum or helpdesk (done that, got the t-shirt).

The latest one, I removed the tech Q and commented back.
Any other takes on this?

They have to make a link on their site sending traffic to yours. You could ask them to add a link to your site from their post they used of theirs. Try blogging about them including your writings and include a link to their post. Any more than that is beyond me experience sorry.
