haha You are so easy going. I read somewhere that WP doesn’t do pingbacks to the main blog url. It only pings to subpages and posts.
LikeLiked by 1 person
Oh I see. That explains a lot. Like why I don’t get pingbacks half the time.
LikeLiked by 1 person
Yeah, I was having the same problem. It also explains why I miss out on when other bloggers sometimes connect to my blog. I always want to say thanks for that, but I’m not getting all the pingbacks and I don’t always get to read every blog I’m following. I suppose I should write a blog post about it… 🙂
