Weirdness not actually weirdness at all

It just dawned on me what I was witnessing when I first started blogging with WordPress: PingBacks and TrackBacks. For some reason, WordPress groups these together, placing them all in the comments section. That is why after some of my posts I found new comments on older entries—I was linking to them in the new posts. I was sending PingBacks to my old stories. Heh.

I found a WordPress plugin to separate comments from these, so confusion should soon give way to tranquility in the land of sensory output.
