I seldom publish them on my blog.

I believe I did everything correctly: I pasted the blog's given trackback URL into my trackback module, WP states the ping was sent, and I linked to the actual blog post.

Oh well, as you suggest, it just might be a glitch....

Thanks again!

Same thing but different. Some places actually say "trackbacks" when they mean pingbacks, and wordpress automatically sends out pingbacks whenever you reference a post on another blog. Sometimes something happens and the pingback either isn't received, or is refused, or perhaps a glitch here doesn't send it out, but that is a very rare thing.

Did you just reference the blog itself (main page) or did you reference an actual post on that blog? If the blog itself ( blog.com/) then there might not be anywhere for the trackback/pingback to be displayed. Typically trackbacks and pingbacks only appear on actual posts.

The particular blog I am speaking of actually posts the trackback URL and has a trackback link to display blogs that tracked back to it, which I apparently did not correctly do.

It's up to the individual blogger, and some hate them because they get mostly spam.

Did I do it right?

Thank you again...

It was the ONLY thing unchecked - gees! And I'm so bummed since I published my post with the trackback as the hyperlink, which does nothing! So all my email subscribers got a dud link...

Much appreciated!!!

You should then be sure "send trackbacks" is checked.

If the module is closed, hover over the right hand side and click the arrow that appears.

WP.com support has a page stating that there is a "Send Trackback Module" in the editor, but I don't see one?

I have a feeling it no longer exists.

Basically, there is a TypePad blog article I referenced and the blogger has a trackback URL, so where do I post that? Or do I just link to his blog somewhere in my text and it will automatically happen?

Thanks!
Christopher
