Okay, it doesn’t seem to work for me, but I’ve tested it with b2evolution and it works fine. It also works internally with my own blog. Maybe the MT standalone implementation has some bugs somewhere, but I really have no idea. :-)

Aha! Apparently it was picky about me not escaping the ampersand in the URL. I switched it to & and it worked. I honestly have no idea why I thought to try that, but woot. :)
It’s probably something I should build into the Wordpress trackback module as your URL should be the only argument. It wouldn’t be hard to do the fix from my side.

I tested the same link on half a dozen other sites and none of them munged the % signs. Obviously this is no big deal from my point of view, but if you’re still testing your trackback support, I thought you’d want to know.
But why didn’t my trackback show up on the previous post?
I don’t know… mine showed up on your site. I tried trackbacking my own post and it worked. Have you been able to post trackbacks on other sites?
Yes, but maybe I used the wrong URL. I’ll try again. :)

Liam is apparently testing trackbacks as he works to reimplement his site using WordPress. I just added an implementation of trackbacking in my blog.

I’m using Wordpress… there doesn’t seem to be any reported bugs with trackbacks.

Liam is apparently testing trackbacks. I am too! Let’s see if his works, and maybe he’ll test mine. :)

Is that the URL I should be pinging?

I just tested it (I deleted the originating post). It works - that’s the right URL.

That’s & :-)
Where is the ampersand? In your post URL?
Yeah. Technically the URL I was submitting was invalid HTML and XML, because you’re supposed to HTML escape strings even inside tags.

My script is standalone anyway, I still need to tweak it. :)
No worries…

I hope you don’t mind a stranger joining in your test…
Interesting — I used your kind and generous trackback page to test a trackback from the URL:
http://www.shadows.com/shadows.aspx?url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.movabletype.org%2ftrackback%2f
…but it got recorded here as:

Everyone is welcome to test their trackbacks using this post.
