 * I’ve been getting pingbacks coming in to the comments on my blog from my own 
   blog. It looks like it’s happening when I post a link to a previous article in
   my blog. Seems weird for my own blog to be sending pingbacks to itself. Is there
   any way to make it stop doing that without turning off pingbacks completely?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * I’m not sure what’s wrong with a single bump in a case like this – how else do
   you suggest I get a simple question noticed after it’s spent 2 days falling off
   the radar? But, in any case, thanks for the answer. I’ll give that plugin a try.

 * Believe it or not, we volunteers look in the [No Replies](http://wordpress.org/support/view/no-replies)
   view to see who’s not been helped a lot. Bumping can make it harder for us to
   find you.

 * Ahh, that makes sense. Although, that doesn’t seem like a very effective strategy
   if you get a reply that doesn’t answer the question, as I’ve seen happen. But
   I suppose there’s no perfect way for this sort of thing to work! 🙂
