In the default Word­Press theme (and many others), a track­back link is included in each post’s meta data. Knowl­edge­able users right-​click on the link and copy the link loca­tion. But the vast major­ity of users click the link, only to be redi­rected back to the very page they were on. All they want is to be able to copy the link, but the stan­dard imple­men­ta­tion does not pro­vide the expected result. wp-​TrackbackPopup resolves this issue. It uses unob­tru­sive JavaScript to cause a popup when some­one clicks the track­back link. The popup pro­vides a text ver­sion of the track­back url for easy copy­ing and pasting.

Hyphenation is finally avail­able for the web. The addi­tion of hyphen­ation is a sig­nif­i­cant step for­ward for the state of web typog­ra­phy. With it your left aligned text will be less ragged, and your jus­ti­fied text will avoid the ghastly word spac­ing that has pre­vented seri­ous web design­ers from using it.
