Here is a simple way to support surfing sites such as this one. If you like the content and want to support it by a pingback follow the instructions below.

If you wanted to ‘pingback’ this blog entry, then you would simply blog about this page on your own blog and link to this page within your content.

If you’re using WordPress and it’s set to notify the blogs linked in your content, then it would ping me back.

There is no special URL necessary when using pingback. Just the entry’s permanent link which is the URL if you select the title of the blog post.

Bear in mind, this only works for blogs that have pingback enabled (usually WordPress blogs), otherwise you will need to manually trackback. For more information about pingbacks and trackbacks, check out this informative tutorial on how to do this. Plus the author will allow you to test your new skills with his blog or you can do the same with my site.

Two earthquakes on the central Pacific coast occurred between 10:53 p.m. Monday and 16 minutes after midnight Tuesday 12/16/08. The first measured 5.0 in magnitude, according to the Observatorio Vulcanológico y Sismológico de Costa Rica. The second was a lesser 3.0, the observatory said.

Both were said to have been caused by local faults. The first quake had its epicenter about 8 kms (5 miles) northeast of Porvenir de Parrita. The second was in the Pacific some 17 kms (about 10.5 miles) west of Jacó, said the observatory.

Ground waves of both quakes were highly variable. The impact was great in some areas and hardly felt in others, according to the observatory’s array of seismographic stations. This is the second significant earthquake felt in this area in the last month. You can read about the recent earthquake in Costa Rica here.
