Manual Trackbacks in Typepad

This post has been updated. See update at the bottom.

ORIGINAL POST:
I found out last night that Typepad doesn't yet do autodiscovery of trackbacks like Moveable Type does. You can, however, do the trackback pings manually. This post shows you how to do it. First of all you need to discover what the URL is for trackback. For typepad this can be found in the individual archive of a post. Here's a screenshot of what this looks like:

For you own post you will need to turn on advanced editting. In the screen shot below, click on Customize the Display of this page and then select Advanced or Custom:TrackBack URLs to Ping. Take the URL that you found in the post you were referring to and place in the box, and save your post.

UPDATE:

Liza mentioned that this could be done with quick post. Here's how it is done. First set up your quick post bookmarklet like this:

When you have a post that has a trackback, then you see the following pulldown menu in your quick post:

Select the trackback ping that you want.

Here's straight from Customer Support:

Hi Rich,

TrackBack autodiscovery has not been enabled yet in TypePad but will be in the near future.

Thanks!

I have tried doing a quickpost to my old MT blog and it didn't work. Liza, please trackback here with a quick post and show me to be wrong.

Liza, thanks for the update. I figured out how to do a trackback from the quickpost.

Rich, Thanks so much for the tip! I've been trying to figure out how to send a manual trackback ping for months. I do use the QuickPost feature (and select the trackback); however, when I finally publish my post, the trackback sometimes doesn't make it. Now, when that happens, I can manually ping it. Wonderful!

Did Typepad ever follow through and actually turn on Trackback autodiscovery?

Does anyone know of a good page with basic instructions (fit for newbies) about how to use Trackback on Typepad?

Really good work. I found a lot of profound information which can help me to go on. Thanks for all this input.
