Accept TrackBacks
This setting determines the default setting for the Accept TrackBacks option for new entries. It can be overridden on a per-entry basis on the entry editing screen.
Accept comments
This setting determines the default setting for the Accept Comments option for new entries. It can be overridden on a per-entry basis on the entry editing screen.
Basename length
This setting determines the default character length for the computed Entry Basename for new entries. The basename can be completely overriden on a per-entry basis on the entry editing screen so this is only a convenience setting.
Blog update pings
When you create a new entry, you can have Movable Type automatically notify a number of services that keep track of recently-updated weblogs. When they receive notice, the services check your site to determine if it has changed since the last time you sent a ping. If it has, your site will be marked as updated.
weblogs.com, blo.gs and technorati.com have been provided for your convenience, but you can specify any number of other arbitrary services which support the weblogs.com XML-RPC ping interface (http://www.xmlrpc.com/weblogsCom) by adding the URLs for those servers to the "Others" box. Separate the URLs with carriage returns.
Recently updated key
When you purchase Movable Type, you are given a unique key that you can enter as your Recently updated key. This key will then be sent to Sixapart.com whenever you update your site, and your site will be included in the "Recently updated sites" list on the Movable Type section of the Six Apart website.
Text formatting
This setting determined the default setting for the Text formatting option for new entries. It can be overridden on a per-entry basis on the entry editing screen.
Trackback autodiscovery
When you create a new entry in your weblog, Movable Type can find hyperlinks within it to pages which support TrackBack. When a page with a TrackBack end-point is found, Movable Type will automatically send a ping to that site, just as if you had determined the TrackBack URL yourself and entered it in manually.
Auto-discovery takes all of the work out of using TrackBack. You only need to include links as you always have, and Movable Type can do the work for you. You will be notified of the sites that are being pinged on the Pinging... screen.
The choice for Internal auto-discovery governs whether entries within the same weblog as the entry itself should be pinged. The choice for External auto-discovery controls pinging to all other pages, including entries in other weblogs on the same Movable Type installation.
