1. Get yourself a free account with Haloscan


2. Once you have your account (and most importantly, your username), open your Blogger dashboard, then click on Template>Edit HTML. Ensure "expand widgets" is ticked.
   Just before the closing head tag, insert this code, being sure to replace "yourhaloscanusername" with your appropriate UN:
   
   

   <script src="http://www.haloscan.com/load/yourhaloscanusername"
   type="text/javascript">

3. Then add this code where you want your Trackback link to appear, again replacing the username:
   
   

   <a class='comment-link'
   expr:href='"http://www.haloscan.com/tb/yourhaloscanusername/" + data:post.id +
   "/"' expr:onclick='"HaloScanTB(" + "\""+ data:post.id + "\"" + ");return
   false;"'><script
   type='text/javascript'>postCountTB('<data:post.id/>');</script></a>

4. I included this just after the comment link as in the following example:

   <b:if cond='data:post.allowComments'> <a
   class='comment-link' expr:href='data:post.addCommentUrl'
   expr:onclick='data:post.addCommentOnclick'><b:if
   cond='data:post.numComments == 1'>1
   <data:top.commentLabel/><b:else/><data:post.numComments/>
   data:top.commentLabelPlural/></b:if></a>
   </b:if> </b:if><a class='comment-link'
   expr:href='"http://www.haloscan.com/tb/yourhaloscanusername/"
   +
   data:post.id + "/"' expr:onclick='"HaloScanTB(" + "\""+ data:post.id + "\""
   +
   ");return false;"'<script
   type='text/javascript'>postCountTB('<data:post.id/>');</script></a>
   

5. Preview your template first to make sure everything works okay. If it does, then save your template and begin to receive your trackbacks!
