This post is now listed as a comment on the site it links to (Blogsavvy). so the CLT Blog is now out there….
This has occurred (I think) because the following option is enabled on our blog:
*Attempt to notify any Weblogs linked to from the article*
(If you check this box, WordPress will send out a ping to a site or article you have linked (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlink) to in your post. Your mention of their site or article will show up in the comment section of their site, if that site allows pingbacks. The notfication occurs during the process of publishing your article to the internet. An article with many hyperlinks will slow the posting process as WordPress contacts all of the sites before the post is published)
And presumably the pingback option is enabled on the Blogsavvy site which is also WordPress:
*Allow link notifications from other Weblogs (pingbacks and trackbacks)*
(This setting tells WordPress to accept or decline the pings from other sites which may reference your site or an article on your site. If this box is checked, pingbacks and trackbacks will appear in the comments section of your posts)
