  When I publish a post, I immediately get emailed and the comment notification on the WordPress.com bar flashes orange with a pending comment. The comment contains the text from my post. How do I stop this from happening? Is it a setting in the Discussion setting area on the dashboard?

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

  Nevermind. I had a link to another one of my WordPress blog. The “Default article settings” in the Discussion Setting area of the Dashboard was check marked. Unchecking this should solve it. Case closed.

  Oh, I meant I unchecked the “Attempt to notify any blogs linked to from the article”. Also I unchecked the “Allow link notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks)” just in case.
