Using the Dashboard to delete and block trackbacks

When a web page links to an entry in your blog using a trackback URL, the entry's name is listed in the Recent Trackbacks section on the Dashboard. You can delete one or more trackbacks from the list. You can also delete the trackback and block trackbacks from the URL of the web page that created the trackback.

To delete, or delete and block a trackback:

1.	On the Control Panel, click the Dashboard tab and navigate to the Recent Trackbacks area. Depending on your trackback moderation settings, the Approve Selected button may also be shown.
