    Hi bs,

    I know you´re busy, but do you perhaps consider to implement a trackback-functionality to the snippet, so it would catch trackbacks and convert them into comments (like in wordpress)? That would be very cool... With an additionally plugin onDocSave that scans a new entry for trackbacking other blogs we would have a perfect blog system wink

    I have heard that Spammers often times you trackbacks to post spams inside blogs. If this is the case are there any methods to safe guard against this?

      Well, Wordpress hast afaik a lot of antispam tools/plugins, sure it would be necessary to include one. But as long the spammers don´t target modx as a often used blog software, I don´t think the danger is that big. But although you´re of course right.
