As it happens, it looks like WP does just bundle them all together, which is a bit of a pain in the arse. Once I've sorted myself out a bit with themes etc., I may have a look at hacking the code a little to seperate the two items. Which would be my preference, to be honest.<!-- X-spaminator-strike: whitelist, -3 --><!-- X-spaminator-strike: bad referer - spambot?, 3 --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: IP check --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: email check --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: author url --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: comment body --><!-- X-spaminator-strike: url dashes, 4 --> I agree – I just haven’t had enough trackbacks to notice this one before.

A trackback is a "reference to a similar post" not a "comment on a post". They are inherently different and I've just never understood why some people lump them together - other than that the blogging tool does it automatically. Er.. Lyle, this isn't a dig at you! (Especially as I owe you for that nice little bit of PHP coding!!) We are considering Dublin this year for a week, or a long weekend. I'm hoping I get a chance to see more if this time as last time I spent most of my time drinking.

Does WP allow you to separate the two [MT does the opposite: they're separate by default, but you can use a plugin to combine them with comments]?<!-- X-spaminator-strike: whitelist, -3 --><!-- X-spaminator-strike: bad referer - spambot?, 3 --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: IP check --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: email check --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: author url --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: comment body --> Heh, I’ve never been a fan of the “trackbacks are just remote comments, so should be in the same list” school of thought.
