How To Separate Comments and Trackbacks On A WordPress Blog

ADVERTISEMENTS

Most blogs have their comments and trackbacks mixed, which in my opinion makes the comment area look ugly and also breaks up the flow of reader comments.

Some readers have asked me in the past how I had separated the comments from trackbacks on this blog and frankly I did not know then as the K2 theme (this blog’s theme was based on K2) had this done by default.

But after the recent redesign of this blog, I had to find out how to do this manually as I did not want to base my theme on K2 anymore.� After a quick search I landed on hackwordpress.com which had a step by step explanation on how to separate comments and trackbacks on a WordPress blog.

Now go ahead and make your blog look neater by separating the comments and trackbacks on your blog too. You may also want to style your comments to stand out from your reader’s comments.

    I may try this very soon. Well after switching over to new theme did your bandwidth usage reduce or increase? The K2 theme consumes more bandwidth than other themes but still i like it very much.

    Shivaranjan- Bandwidth usage has actually increased

    Madhur Kapoor- Yes, I bought Xbox 360 and I finished playing ‘Gears of War’ two times and now playing ‘The Godfather’ :)

    indyank- I do not have much experience in blogspot, you may try contacting Amit Agarwal…he may probably know.

Have something to say?
