 * I’m having some pingback/trackback issues with 2.0.1 I’ll focus on the pingback
   for now. It doesn’t seem to work. I’ve tried to get pingbacks from multiple blogs
   and nothing comes through. Looking at my server logs I do see a 404 error for
   the xmlrpc.php file. Its strange though, because the file does exist, its current
   permissions are 755, and I can hit it with a browser, but get the message that
   it only accepts post requests. Here is the snippet from my log.
 * 72.29.73.51 – – [10/Feb/2006:16:47:54 -0500] “GET /2006/02/sending-a-ping/ HTTP/
   1.1” 200 6230 “-” “WordPress/2.0.1”
    72.29.73.51 – – [10/Feb/2006:16:47:54 -0500]“
   POST /xmlrpc.php HTTP/1.0” 404 5247 “-” “Incutio XML-RPC — WordPress/2.0.1” 72.29.73.51––[
