For my own knowledge, what are trackbacks exactly?

Then scroll down below the text area, click on the right end of the discussion title bar and select to disallow comments and trackbacks and then save.

As an aside, the discussion module in the page editor is disabled by default on new sites, but once you enable it, it will stay visible till you disable it.

In my initial confusion, I have not yet figured out how to disable comments. I have an about me page set up, and I don't see the sense in having people comment on my contact information.
