Theodore is working on comments, I suggest you join the pyblosxom-devel
mailing list and share your ideas with all of us.

I wanted to do that as well, but it's not scalable at all, don't do it
:)

Trackbacks are comments like animal, see:
http://roughingit.subtlehints.net/pyblosxom/coolStuff/isthispossible.html

and click on the TB+ to see it working in action :)

See http://roughingit.subtlehints.net/pyblosxom/weblogs/tools/tutorial
on how to work trackback with the external Standalone Trackback utility,
you must read the documentation of the standalone trackback tool on how
to construct the URL, or view source on my site to see how I do things.

Auto pings, thanks to Sam Ruby is easily done (albeit seperate from
pyblosxom) Documentation quickie here:
