  I do a lot of cross-referencing in my blog. As a result I have the opportunity to either approve or trash pingbacks from my own current blog to my previous ones. Does it make any difference how I respond? What does it mean to ‘approve’ a pingback?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  Whenever you link to another post it will generate a pingback on the older post. If you approve it, a link to the newer post will appear in the comments section on the older post. If you don’t approve it, the link won’t appear, but the link you added in the newer post will still work.

  Please let me know if you have any more questions about this.
