Weblog Tools Collection lists a few things<\/a> to check for whether you are a WordPress geek.\u00a0 Here is the list with bold items indicating the ones that are true for me.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. When the first thing you do at a new blog is scroll down to see who did the theme<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  2. When you mention Dexter Gordon, you have to qualify that he is a saxophonist and not the WordPress release<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  3. More than one of your Twitter saved searches includes the word “wordpress”. (I don’t use saved searches, but if I was, I would have a few about wordpress for sure).<\/li>\n
  4. You read Weblog Tools Collection<\/a> daily and have withdrawal when we do not have a release post.<\/li>\n
  5. You visit a well known publisher and can instantly recognize the permalinks as created by WordPress. Heck, if you know what a permalink is<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  6. If all your vacations are to WordCamps. (Not all, no, but I once was at Greek Blogger Camp<\/a>, which was practically the same thing).<\/li>\n
  7. If the word “dashboard” reminds you of the WordPress admin panel<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  8. If you have multiple<\/em> Google Alerts setup with the word “WordPress” in it. (I used to have it for some time, but now it’s just way too much to handle for me).<\/li>\n
  9. If your toddler has a “W” t shirt. (My toddler grew up faster than I ordered one).<\/li>\n
  10. If your browser homepage is set to the WordPress Planet<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 (No, I don’t have it as a homepage, however I am subscribed to RSS and read through all posts. And I mark this one bold for actually having of my blogs on WordPress Planet)<\/li>\n
  11. If you bitch when Matt writes about the Kindle and not about WordPress. (No, I don’t bitch, but I definitely prefer WordPress posts).<\/li>\n
  12. If you have tried to convert your day job\u2019s website to WordPress<\/strong>. (Yes, I did. Heck, I even had a couple of day jobs around WordPress)<\/li>\n
  13. If you know of Kubrick but do not know who he was. (I know the Kubrick theme and who Kubrick was, but only because I am into movies)<\/li>\n
  14. If you spend more time on WordPress Extend looking for plugins and themes than writing posts<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  15. If you have ever met Matt<\/a> and had a picture taken with him<\/strong>. (Here it is<\/a>)<\/li>\n
  16. If you know what Akismet is<\/strong>. (Who doesn’t?)<\/li>\n
  17. If you met most of your friends because of WordPress. (All? No, I’m much older than WordPress. But I met a few, yes.)<\/li>\n
  18. If you make your living from WordPress. (Not any more, but I had a period like this in my life)<\/li>\n
  19. If your significant other complains that WordPress gets more attention. (Not any more, but I had a period like this in my life)<\/li>\n
  20. If you have ever suggested WordPress to others<\/strong>. (Suggested?\u00a0 I basically push it down their throats.\u00a0 Every time.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This can go on forever, indeed.\u00a0 Have you ever developed a WordPress plugin?\u00a0 How about a theme?\u00a0 A widget?\u00a0 Have you used WordPress for a non-blog web site?\u00a0 Have you ever used WordPress Mu? Blah blah blah.<\/p>\n

    And how about you?\u00a0 Are you a WordPress geek?<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
