In reply to: Newbie to Trackbacks ???To be honest it would take someone with a near zero experience with blogs and blogging to not understand “No Comments” link is used to enter a comment.
If you want to add the TB URL to the front page just copy what is in the comments page then add it to your index page next to the comments link.

In reply to: Newbie to Trackbacks ???The connections theme does give the TB URL.
Look at your comments page, in the right hand box:
“# Do More :
# You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.”Hover on the word trackback and it will give you the URL.
And you are correct, I just ent a successful TB to your post.

In reply to: Repeated pings to Update Services“Er, I do need it though.”
Er… if it pings with each edited post you obviously don’t “need it.”
Disable pings site wide, all it takes to enable them for each post you desire them on is to click one check box on the write page.

In reply to: Getting the word out…macmanx link provides the best advice and you will note one thing on that list is comment on other blogs. Not just a few, alot and not just comments. If you write a story related to someone else’s note that other blog in your entry and send a trackback.
In your travels thru the more popular blogs (TTLB is a good source) note how many entries they average. At present you have about 1 1/2 entries per day, the vast majority of the top blogs have from 4 to 10 entries per day. More content, equals more interest and more readers.
Contrary to what you may believe, but being “active for a long time” is not the description I would place on a blog the is little more than two months old. Hang in there, it will get better.

In reply to: Navigation bar on topYou won’t need the Mozilla plugin. Just view the source code with your browser, look for the stylesheet URL in ther pages header.
Enter that into the browser and it will call up the CSS to view or copy.

In reply to: How to ping PINGOMATICNot all those in your list are hit by pingomatic, here is there page you can cross reference.
http://pingomatic.com/Keep in mind the more services you ping the slower your posting will be. On top of that time any extra time spent pinging sites within a post entry. (if pings are turned on)

In reply to: Newbie to Trackbacks ???I just attempted to send a TB from my blog (a random post) and it failed to display on your end.
In looking at your source code I discovered your blog is being displayed useing frames. This may have something to do with the problem.
Did you do the install or your host? If it was your host please inform them they are about a decade behind current technology.

In reply to: Link Catagories Not showingBTW, have you looked at your site in FireFox?
I suggest a quick peek, it is a complete disaster (no offense intended).
All the content is pushed to the right side so far the left side of the screen is nothing but white background. Not sure but it may be caused by how you edited the nav bar at the top, or possibly because you have tried to incorporate shockwave into the site.
Regardless, it needs some serious tweeking, fast!

In reply to: Link Catagories Not showingAdd this code where you need it in the sidebar.php
<ul>
<?php
$link_cats = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM $wpdb->linkcategories");
foreach ($link_cats as $link_cat) {
?>
<li id="linkcat-<?php echo $link_cat->cat_id; ?>"><h2><?php echo $link_cat->cat_name; ?></h2>
<ul>
<?php wp_get_links($link_cat->cat_id); ?>
</ul>
</li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>As it happens my blog in also using RIN, you can see how this code looks Cranial Cavity
EDIT: I should have also said delete this code from the RIN sidebar.php and replace it with the above code:
<li><h2><?php _e('Links'); ?></h2>
<ul>
<?php get_links('-1', '<li>', '</li>', '<br />'); ?>
</ul>

In reply to: Blix (Linking a page to an external link?)Why don’t you create one page devoted to your other site. Add a description and web address and any other info you desire.
