To add a trackback URL to a blog entry:
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 Insert > 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 infor-
mation, 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.
Allowing comments for blog entries
You can use the Blog Defaults option of the Preferences dialog box to specify whether Contribute allows the blog
server to accept comments for your blog entries. If you enable comments, users can enter comments about your blog
entries. You can also allow or disallow comments for individual blog entries.
Note:
You set a preference to determine whether comments are enabled for blog entries. For more information about
allowing comments for blog entries, see “Setting Contribute preferences” on page 28. Some blogs don’t support comments
or require you to set a preference to allow it. For more information, see your blog documentation.
To allow or disallow comments for a blog entry:
1 Browse to a blog entry.
2
Click the Edit Entry button in the toolbar, or select File > Actions > Edit Entry.
3 Do one of the following:
• Select or deselect Format > Blog Metadata > Allow Comments to allow or disallow comments for the blog entry.
•
Click the Allow Comments button in the toolbar to allow or disallow comments.
4
After you allow or disallow comments for the blog entry, you can edit, post, or save it as a draft.
When you post the blog entry to your blog, a Comments link lets anyone reading the entry post a comment.
