The Discussion settings define how your readers interact with your site and how your site
interacts with other blogs. You can configure Pingbacks and Trackbacks, whether readers can post
Comments or not and if so, how those Comments are moderated and displayed on
your site.
This screen also lets you configure whether the
Post Author should be emailed whenever someone posts a comment on your site. If
you are receiving emails whenever someone posts a comment, simply uncheck the
box next to Anyone posts a comment within the E-mail me whenever section on this
screen and then save your changes.
If you would like to be notified whenever a
comment is held for moderation, it can be configured on this screen as well
within the E-mail me whenever section. The email notification is sent to the email address listed on the Settings > General page.
