They appear as comments, but there's no need (and no point) in answering them! Read this to understand:

I'm glad I'm not the only one with the problem!

Thanks!--I am doing a series, and if I link to the previous posts, it's considered a "ping back"? -See how dumb I am? My series is about learning how to write a blog. Ha ha. I wondered what happened when I saw I had made comments to myself. Are there rules against this? Since I'm actually doing it to myself, I guess it's okay as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for the info. I thought it was some sort of spam or virus or something. After many emails from myself trying to sell me Viagra through a pharmacy in India, I had to wonder. Thanks again for the info.

If you put a link to one of your older posts in a new post it will 'pingback' each link just as if a different blog had linked to your post. :)

I was told by another user it might have been a "pingback"...?

Thank you for taking the time to read my post and help. I was just writing my daily post and pressed submit. Upon doing so, I noticed I had new comments. Clicked through to see what was pending and saw this strange thing where it says, for example "Title of 1 of my posts" commented on "Title of 2nd one of my posts" etc. repeating through different posts I have 8 times.

If I go to the comments page of the dashboard it says that I made these comments. But, it lists an IP address out of texas and my email address isn't there as it usually is.

Did I do something wrong? I can of course trash these comments or mark them as spam as needed but I wanted to be sure that if I did something wrong I didn't do it again-- or if I'd been hacked I took the appropriate next steps.

Thanks again for any insight.

The blog I need help with is: http://sweetaccountability.wordpress.com
