RE: This site's performance

I tried to switch my JVM to BEA's JRockit last night, but had no luck - Tomcat wouldn't start, so I switched back to Sun's JVM. However, I was running 1.4 and I switched to 1.4.1. Performance seems to be better, and there aren't very many errors in my catalina.out file (this is a symlink to the file) since last night. I guess we'll have to see how the site holds up throughout the day. I didn't install Jikes because it's an RPM and I believe Keith has to install those. Also, after Chris's comments, I'm a little less inclined to make the change.

I also have a few questions for Dave regarding both #showTrackbackURL($entry) and #showLinkbacks( $day ). First, how is the Trackback URL supposed to be used? Are folks expected to use this to link to an entry of mine (vs. a permalink), or what? Why should I display it like Lance does? Secondly, the showLinkbacks($day) macro is not present in any of my local *.vm files. Maybe I deleted it by accident. Which template should it be in?

Later: So if I understand this correctly, a Trackback is basically a way of telling someone you've referred to them, and your entry will show up in their comments. Whereas as a Linkback is a feature that checks referrers for URLs linking back to your site? Now I just need to find out where my #showLinkbacks() macro disappeared to.

Sending a trackback is now covered in the (growing day-by-day) User Guide. You should show the Trackback URL in a way that allows a user to cut-and-paste it, not as a link. If you use the comments-page rather than the comments pop-up (which I recommend), then the trackback URL is show on your comments-page. The showLinkbacks() macro should be inside your day template, but not inside your entries loop. I'll be adding example weblog and day template pages to the User Guide so show folks how to do this.

Ben and Mena have a great guide for TrackBack on the MT site: MovableType :: <a title="MovableType :: TrackBack Explanation" href="http://www.movabletype.org/trackback/beginners/">A Beginner's Guide to TrackBack It's a bit MT-specific, at least instruction-wise, but it provides a nice overview of the technology despite the word "Beginner" in the title.
