 * Thank god for Askimet, I have over 18,000 spams it has caught in just a few months.
   They are 99% “Trackbacks”. It seems there used to be a “Allow Trackbacks” option
   in the settings some where, but I can’t find it. Also, didn’t there used to be
   the option on individual posts? Where do I find this?

 * In Write/Edit > Post under COMMENTS box, uncheck Ping. As it states in small 
   print “‘Pings’ are trackbacks and pingbacks.”

 * Or even better “settings”->”discussion” and uncheck “Allow link notifications
   from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks.)” to disable pingback and trackbacks
   by default.
