I am not familiar with trackbacks since I do not use it. I suggest you check the WordPress Support Forum. They might be able to help you out. I will research it myself and will get back to you later. Regarding the link color, the color and decoration for link hover is controlled in CSS. Just open style.css in the Black-Letterhead directory and change the code of:

a:hover {
color: #707070;
text-decoration: underline;
}

Try: text-decoration: none;

Hope that helps.

1) when I click on a “trackback” link, it doesn’t seem to work. For example, in this entry, entitled “Various“, there is a link for “leave a response”, and for “trackback”. When you put the cursor over “trackback”, the URL appears as: http://podbaydoor.com/wp-trackback.php?p=21. But if I click on “trackback”, it reload loads the page itself: http://podbaydoor.com/?p=21. A friend tried to link back to this post, and nothing happened when he clicked on the trackback link, and then copied the resulting URL to his trackback box in a post he was creating.

I tried replicating this myself. I went to one of my other blogs, copied the URL that appears when I click on “trackback”, and pasted it into the “Outbound Trackback URLs”; nothing happens. If I copy the URL that appears when I move the cursor over the “trackback” link, and paste THAT link into the same box, it works. However, when I check back to the trackbacked entry, it appears as “One Response to Various”, and reads as if the trackbacking blog is submitting a comment, rather than a trackback.

Does this make sense? Can you help? Please?

2) The other question is about colour. When I move the cursor over a link in an entry on my site, it adds an underline only; the reddish colour remains the same. I would like to remove the underline, and change the colour when the cursor moves over top. How would I do that?

Many thanks for any help you can provide, and best regards, - Randy
