Add trackback URLs to a blog entry

When you create a blog entry, you can add one or more trackback URLs to it. You use trackback URLs to maintain a list of other blogs that are linked to your blog entry. To link to one of your blog entries, other blog authors add that blog entry’s trackback URLs to their blog entry. Your blog maintains a record of these linked blog entries for each of your blog entries. You can click these links to view the linked entries. You can also prevent other users from adding your blog’s trackback URL to their blog entries by disabling the Allow Trackback option.

1. Select the desired blog entry in the Pages panel.

   Note: Contribute does not validate the URLs you enter in the Trackbacks dialog box or the Trackback URL(s) field. If you enter an invalid URL, or want to change the trackback URL later, you can edit the blog entry and add a new trackback URL. However, you cannot edit or delete the trackback URLs you originally entered.

2. Do one of the following:

   • Click the Trackbacks button  in the toolbar.

   • Select Format > Blog Metadata > Allow Trackbacks.

3. Enter the trackback URL for the blog entry in the Trackback URL(s) field, and then click OK.

   Contribute adds the URLs to the blog entry, and the Trackbacks field appears at the bottom of the Contribute workspace. You can add, edit, or delete trackback URLs in this field. These modifications are also reflected in the Trackbacks dialog box.

   Note: Some blogs do not support the trackback feature or require you to set a preference to allow it. For more information, see your blog documentation.

   After you add a trackback URL to the blog entry, you can edit, publish, or save it as a draft.

   Note: You can add only one trackback URL per line in the Trackbacks dialog box and the Trackback URL(s) field in the Contribute workspace.
