For any bloggers not yet savvy about pingbacks and Twitter mentions, here are two tips I’d like to share that will make things easier for your followers:
My mom’s cat. She loves…er…tolerates me.
1. Pingbacks
It’s an honor to be mentioned in someone else’s blog post, and it’s a great way to build blogging connections.

China Sojourns Photography: Slowing Down the Perception of Time
Most beautiful thoughts and pictures from China Sojourns Photography!
I’ve made a mistake.
I look behind me but there is no turning back, I’ve past the point of no return.
The chill of frost has seeped further into my bones; the other side of the frozen lake appears just as far away as it did an hour ago. Or was it only a few minutes ago?
With snow blowing around I bow my head and take a seat, lost in time.
Earlier today I met up with a friend, a theoretical physicist who has one of the best minds I’ve ever known. Her head is often in the clouds and her optimism makes her irresistible in conversation.
