You Might Be A WordPress Junkie If…

  1. You have more than 5 folders on your web space that begin with “wp-”. (There are only 4 included in the distribution, but I have 7.)
  2. You know that a post-slug is not an insect or a shotgun shell.
  3. You know what the WordPress Wiki is and where to find something in it.
  4. You check the WP CVS at least once a day for updated files.
  5. You know at least two of the developers by their domain name.
  6. You’ve written/modified a plugin or hack for WP
  7. You don’t know any Mullenweg’s, but you know a PhotoMatt.
  8. You know that b2 isn’t just the first two characters of a popular Hip Hop group.
  9. Your site is listed under “Strut your stuff” on the WP.
  10. You’ve talked someone into trying WP.

    You know you are a WP addict when your wife leaves you :sad: I am thinking of starting a 12 step programme.

    What’s sad is that I’m already a junkie (everything but #9) …and I only switched from MT this weekend!

    I’ve got a new one…if you’ve been without Internet for more than 24 hours preventing you from accessing your blog…and you get the shakes! I feel much better now that I can respond to some comments.

    #4: much easier to just check the commit mailing list
    #6: no, but I sent a minor patch to mosquito and it was commited
    #9: nope
    #10: nope
    Guess I am a junkie anyway…

    Yes, I’ve also joined the mailing list, but it wasn’t available at the time I posted this. Come to think of it, either was mosquito. The WP advances never stop!

    Hey, does this mean I’m no wordpress junkie? How about 5 different wordpress installs on my desktop server, does that count? :mrgreen:

    You are a WP junkie if you’ve written a tutorial for WP.

    You are a WP junkie if you’ve posted over 500 times in the support forums. (I’ve done over 1000)
