   Default Trackbacks Status

   This is the status you want to assign to all new comments and trackbacks. Selecting Open allows your entries to send and receive trackbacks. A trackback notifies you when another Web Site or blog links to your entry. Other sites can be notified if you link to one of their articles as well. Both sites need to enable trackbacks for proper functioning. In quick Blogcast, trackbacks are enabled by default.

   Automatically check your links to determine if the blog you link to allows trackbacks.

   Enter one or more URLs that you want to notify of the creation of your entry. You can ping (notify) other blogs that you refer to in your entry or online blog directories.

   Permalink

   Specify the name you want to use for the permanent link to this blog entry. If you do not specify a Permalink name, Quick Blog assigns a name after you save the entry. The Permalink name cannot be edited after the entry is published. This will create a link that goes directly to the entry you are creating. You can add this link anywhere you want to send someone directly to this entry.
