How Does He Do It?

Re: Blogs I'm new to blogging (obviously I guess). I haven't told anybody about my blog just yet although I did put up a link from my website at www.wendyboucher.com. Curiously enough, Tommy from Sticks Of Fire (a Weekly Planet pick and one of my faves) found my blog anyway. Could it be that he can tell when somebody's put up a link to his site? Tommy? Are you out there? Is Big Brother watching me? Do you have the technology? Can you tell me how?
