  Hi, I’m not sure what we call this, a ping back or track back. But when I link URL of my own blog on my posts, it creates a comment and shows up in the comment section under the blog post. The same comment (which contains only link) also shows up as a comment in my Comment widget on the front page. The question I have is, how do I make sure this automated comment also contains my Avatar? It currently only shows up without an Avatar. Also, what do I check to disable these automated comments if I want?

  Thanks for the support.

  Okay, I just learned it is called Pingback. Anyone know how I can get my avatar to show up in my own ping back?

  It worked out well, but is there no automated way to get this working?
