I've got a new format for my blog-entry footer:
[ Posted at $TIME | Permalink | Comment | Filed under $CATEGORIES | TrackBack $URLLINK ($URL) ]
I made the change mostly because I noticed that I get very few trackbacks, and it occurred to me that maybe it was because my trackback-inna-link implementation is non-standard and lacking explanatory documentation. I don't like the default pop-up implementation (if I'm looking for someone else's trackback URL, I don't want to have to click for another page to load, in a pop-up no less), and I also don't like having the URL spelled out, but I acknowledge that not everyone's going to understand that they've got to right-click and copy the link. So I'm trying to make it more clear.
Tell me what you think. I'd especially love to hear if anyone has a great idea for how to achieve the objective of a clean but intuitive (or at the very least, well-documented) display.
