I'm little help. I think trackbacks refer to posts inspired by yours. So, if I wrote something about, say, adoption, inspired by one of your pieces, I would "trackback" to it.
And if that is totally wrong, I'm sorry. I'll be checking back to see if someone else has this better figured out.
I think pings are (generally if you are trying to connect over a network) something your computer sends out. if it gets an answer then your connection is working (this is a guess)... and the only wiki i know is wikipedia.com!
*LOVE* the pic. I voted for ya. Had to laugh when I went in there and saw that my (now extinct) blog was nominated for the same category as yours. I had no idea I had been nominated. Good luck Mary!
A ping is when the subject of your post has been checked by a Search Engine. It started out to be a way for computers talk to each other and keep subjects filed for easy reference, but has evolved into a great method for spam/crap to overload your site. A trackback usually applies when one blogger links to your post because they are about the same subject or because it might be of interest to yet another reader. Also a great method for idjuts to find you and take advantage of any open server space. Wiki has a technical term but lately implies reference on Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia. Looks like you might have to enable Word Verification pretty soon, so that only human eyes can comment.
I am Mary. 20 years ago I married my high school sweetheart. We have kids in college, high school, junior high, grade school, preschool, and diapers, 8 altogether. Half arrived via adoption. I homeschool. I kiss owies. I write. I eat chocolate. I garden. I cook. I take pictures obsessively. I am very busy and very, very blessed.
I write at my Owlhaven Wordpress blog, my Ethiopia adoption blog and at LargerFamilies.com

I thought "pings" were all the little scratches in my mini-van around the keyhole... :) GORGEOUS picture.
Cute pic!
A ping will update different blog trackers to let them know that you have recently updated or posted a new post.

That's a hat and a precious, precious child. Easy!
Oh? Not what you meant? I don't know either.
