   I have a quick, easy question about WordPress pingbacks.

   When someone writes an post and sends me a pingback, I assume it shows up as a new comment in my WP admin. Since I am working on localhost, I can't test this myself, but...

   What is the data sent to me in these comment fields?

   Name: (assume it's just the author's name)
   Email: (not important)
   URL: Is this the direct URL to their new post?
   Content: Is this the TITLE of their new post?

   Hi,

   Whenever you receive the pingback to blog ot will be as a comment so you will have to approve/delete from your blog admin in order to display on your blog.

   Thanks,

   Shane G.

   Got it, thanks, but what data occupies these fields?

   Name: Is this the author's name or the TITLE of their new post?
   Email: (not important)
   URL: Is this the direct URL to their new post or to their website?
   Content: Is this the TITLE of their new post?
