Some may find today’s entry wandering, and you will probably be right.
You see, among the page hits for this blog, I see what are called “trackbacks.” I have tried to trace them to their sources, but alas, they are anonymous, unsigned messages washing on the shores of Fiction Dailyland.
When readers link to me from their blog, I am notified; others will leave comments (thank you, dear readers).
When these things happen, I receive a “ping” alerting me that someone has linked. The trackbacks, however, just sit there. I can’t figure out what they represent, really. Spam? A fan in Ukraine or Turkey? Random hits from a Googlecrawler?
If you have left me a trackback, I thank you for your interest.
And if you have left me a ping … all the better … am I the only one who remembers the story of Ping, the little duck, from childhood?
TOMORROW: Ping
Ping the duck! I remember … just not much. Wasn’t he left behind when his family and friends boarded a boat or something? Help me out here.
