Amy is right, it’s darn hard to find out and I think the cut-and-paste method is the only one that works.

I count myself as a good test for any consumer-intended technology. If I can’t work it out – the average punter certainly won’t.

This I didn’t work out!

I wish I was still able to log in to my Movable Type publishing platform, because I’d look in to this for you. I screwed up something in my database a while back and because my blog wasn’t really related to my business I just didn’t sweat it much.

Anyway, from what I remember I used to manually paste trackback URLs, but there I do remember there being something that said “auto-detect”, but I don’t recall it actually working (or ever seeing it in action). I can’t say it didn’t work, but I just never knew of a specific instance when I can say that the auto-detection truly did anything.

By the way, let me just tell everyone that I find MT to be a huge pain and I don’t recommend it. (And don’t even get me started on the amount of TB and comment spam I used to get… that is what started my problems that eventually lead to my all the problems that eventually lead to me no longer even using my blog).

Hi Andy- Glad you found me! Sadly, the only way I know to make TypePad do trackbacks is to paste the Trackback link in the trackbacks box when composing the post. If there is no link, it seems like sometimes it pings and sometimes it doesn’t. I wish I knew what to do with this, but I’ll have to leave the TypePad Guru title to someone else…!

Perhaps no tutorial exists because it's too painful. I wrote a little post several months ago admitting that TypePad trackbacks mystified me. A few TypePad users commented that they too were mystified... Surely though, someone will take you up on your offer.
