 * I can’t for the life of me figure out how to see how many trackbacks I’ve received
   for a particular post.
    Is there anywhere/way/how I can see who has tracked back
   to my posts?

 * Trackbacks should appear as a comment to your post.

 * OK, but what if someone dosn’t leave a comment, but still uses something I’ve
   posted and uses the trackback link. Where so I see it then?

 * As podz mentioned, it appears as a comment. Just think of trackbacks as a way
   of commenting from another blog.

 * OK… let me see if I get this right. If they use the trackback link but don’t 
   post any comments, it’ll still show up as a comment?

 * Sorry, I’m new to this trackback/pingback thing–so if someone simply uses the
   permalink as the trackback link, it will function as such? It’s just that some
   MT blogs I visit have a separate link for trackbacks that is different from their
   permalinks.

 * No, must use the trackback link.

 * Where do I find/how do I post the trackback link?

 * Thanks, Beel! I’m an idiot! I keep forgetting that. 😉
    All I had to do was bother
   to look for the trackback in the same location as it is on the MT blogs I was
   just talking about. I am a serious dip sometimes. Sorry to waste your time. Thanks
   for the help! I’ll shut up now.
