 * Howdy,
    I have acquired 4 “comments” that only reflect the name of my own post
   and if I approve them it says they are “Trackbacks / Pings”
 * What are these?
    And how can I track who is doing the pings? I don’t see any 
   indication of what if any other blogs are linked to mine.
 * terribly confused.
 * many thanks.

 * They are backlinks from other sites.

 * The pingback notice will include the linking site/post’s url.
