 * Whenever someone links to a post on my site, I get a comment from that site with
   the actual comment being “[…] 5 Ways To Make Video Look Like Film by C47 […],”
   with that being the post title. This also happens when I link to other posts 
   in my blog in new posts. Here’s a post to clarify:
 * [http://coffeeandcelluloid.com/2007/05/09/5-ways-to-make-video-look-like-film/](http://coffeeandcelluloid.com/2007/05/09/5-ways-to-make-video-look-like-film/)
 * Anyone know why this is happening? Thanks.

 * Have you read up on Trackbacks and Pingbacks?
 * They’re both discussed at the [Introduction_to_Blogging](http://codex.wordpress.org/Introduction_to_Blogging)
   page in the Codex.

 * Yeah, I’ll just go hit myself over the head for that one. Thanks HandySolo.

 * Lol – don’t hit too hard. 🙂
 * If just starting out, trackbacks aren’t the most intuitive thing to grasp.

 * No, I’ve been messing with wordpress for a while, just I guess no one ever linked
   to me before. So I guess it’s a good thing.
