Adds a template tag ‘trackback_template()’ that displays the list of trackbacks for a post/page. This is especially useful for 
sites that are displaying the comments using a seperate service (i.e. Disqus).
<h3>Modifying the template</h3>
By default the plugin displays the trackbacks as an unordered list inside a div with the id “trackbackslist” with a h3 heading “Trackbacks” above the list 
Alternatively if you’re comfortable with editing HTML & PHP you can add a file called trackbacks.php into your template folder and the plugin will use that to style this list. 
The file trackbacks.php in the plugin folder contains the default code & is a good starting point for customising your own template. Copy it into your 
template folder and it will be used instead of the default file.

The Comments Loop widget was written to allows users with no coding knowledge to customize their comments loop and comments form, all without editing their comments.php file.
Comments Loop is a complete widigitzation of the comments.php file, with over 30 settings to customize from reply links to what gets displayed when comments are closed. When you activate Comments Loop, you’ll have two new available widgets, Comments Loop and Comments Form. Simply drag and drop them in a sidebar that’s active in a singular template (e.g. single.php, page.php, or attachment.php).
