 * Howdy folks! Hope everybody is having a wonderful kick off to summer with Memorial
   Day Weekend and all. Suppossed to be in the 90’s where I am – woohoo!
 * OK I got a quick little question I hope you all can answer for me. Not sure how
   easy this would be. I have the “Recent Comments” plugin installed and activated
   and working fine. Plugin located here at the bottom of the page:
    [http://mtdewvirus.com/code/wordpress-plugins/](http://mtdewvirus.com/code/wordpress-plugins/)
 * Works great but I link to previous blog articles a lot and when I do it leaves
   a pingback in my recent comments section. Is there a way to eliminate my recent
   comments plugin from recording those whenever I personally link within the blog.
   I guess I would only want trackbacks/pingbacks recorded from external blogs and
   comments from my readers to appear.
 * Thanks in advance and get outside if you can. Enjoy the sunshine!

 * One way not to ping/trackback yourself is to leave off your domain name. So instead
   of linking to `http ://www.example.com/blog/post`
    link to `/blog/post`
