 * Hi guys, this has been bugging me for the past few weeks. Suddenly my pingback
   excerpts have been using a bunch of article titles. I think its from my sidebar’s
   most popular posts. Here’s an example:
 * [http://www.thetechnoclast.com/2011/05/20/we-were-there-cherry-mobile-orbit-50-off-sale/](http://www.thetechnoclast.com/2011/05/20/we-were-there-cherry-mobile-orbit-50-off-sale/)
 * This article, links back to one of my old posts here:
 * [http://www.thetechnoclast.com/2011/05/16/cherry-mobile-orbit-50-off-lauchmay-19/](http://www.thetechnoclast.com/2011/05/16/cherry-mobile-orbit-50-off-lauchmay-19/)
 * The excerpt should be something like this:
 * “It was a hot and sunny Thursday morning when we walked into the SM North Annex
   building to line up for the Cherry Mobile Orbit 50% Sale event”
 * But what I get is this:
 * […] New 600D Vs. 60D–Which One Is Better?HTC 7 Mozart Review + HTC Goodies ContestCherry
   Mobile Orbit 50% Off Launch–May 19HTC Desire HD and Desire Z Prices, Release 
   Dates AnnouncedLG Optimus 2X & Black Online Discounts […]
 * These are a bunch of article titles I have that were popular at the time, and
   I have a sidebar with popular posts. I think the excerpt is somehow getting them
   from the popular posts and using it as excerpt. I don’t know how to fix it.
 * Can someone help me with this one or suggest something? Thanks!
