  I’m sorry but I don’t know any way to achieve this. Can you post a link to an example please?

  This blogger posted a pingback to me, and on his blog it quotes blog title, tagline, and byline:

  I suppose it is my blog profile that is supplying the text for the pingback. I just want it to show the title, not the tagline or byline.

  Worst case is I have to turn off the byline, delete the tagline, and replace with a graphic banner. I’m looking for a setting to control the pingback string instead.

  It actually looks like he typed that in by hand.

  LOL… Thanks, I didn’t even think of that. I’ll ask the guy next time I see him.
