How do you do it

Someone has suggested to Kang that he allow trackback linkage to be displayed on the blog, but Kang told me he doesn't know what to do and asked for my assistance. I have no idea what to tell him. Can amyone assist me to assist a poor helpless kangaroo?

2 I have no earthly idea why the time is always screwed up like that. I figured it was because we were postin' on OZ time.

3 Kang: Install this after "posted by" code. It will show the blogs that pinged your post.

(MTPings)(br)(b)ยป(/b)
(a href="($MTPingBlogName$)")($MTPingBlogName$)(/a) pings with: (a href="

Replace the "(" ")" with greater than and less than signs.

If you have any other problems, e-mail at MadfishWillie@hotmail.com or AOL Instant Messanger (AIM) mjt7665

4 I think the time stamp comes from your profile settings modified by your PC's actual clock when you post. If you're in EST then you'll post 5 hours in the future if you never changed your profile from GMT.

5 Kang - apparantly I'm stupid. E-mail me and I can do a reply with an attachment with the whole code in it.

Pixy - Is there a way to fixed the comments to where it doesn't strip out the code? BTW, I got one comment spam for some "erotic tales" literature. Don't know if that means anything to you or not, just saying is all. No big thang!

6 Barkeep, replace the < at the start of each tag with ampersand lt semi-colon (no spaces though)

7 Wow, is a kangaroo ever befuddled. Maybe after some much needed nap time.

8 As Susie said, if you replace the < with lt; in the comments it will show up fine.

9 Susie / Pixy: Thanks for the info. I ran across the same thing when I was trying to do a post at The Alliance and looked at the source code for an on-line help resource and discovered the very same thing. Imagine that! Thanks for the help!

10 BTW - I see Tiger has this feature up and running on his site. This is a really cool script that is easy to install and makes the reading experience much better by not shooting you over to a new page.
