WPCandys – Words for WordPress

December 31, 2008 by Kimb Jones

Dan Philibin over at WPCandy wrote this article last week which rang true with me:

Words for WordPress — WPCandy — WordPress Themes, Plugins, Tips, and Tricks

WordPressographer (noun):
1. one who works with or studies WordPress
2. someone who blogs about a WordPress-related topic

We consulted a WordPressographer to help develop this new widget.

WordPresser (noun):
1. also known as a theme developer; one who creates WordPress themes

After quickly creating several professional-grade themes, I can finally call myself a proficient WordPresser.

WordPressography (noun):
1. the study of WordPress (see also: WordPressographer)

One of my favorite blogs is offering a free course on WordPressography next weekend.

WordPressing (verb):
1. creating something with WordPress; turning a design or markup into a WordPress theme
2. writing a blog post from the WordPress interface to be published with WordPress

During the long hours I spend on the road you can frequently find me WordPressing about my travels.

WordPressify (verb):
1. to turn a design or markup into a WordPress theme (see also: WordPressing)

I had to quickly WordPressify this markup to meet the client’s deadline.

WordPressed (adj):
1. integrated with WordPress; made into something compatible with WordPress

After three days my new theme was finally WordPressed and ready to go live.

The only problem is, he missed one:

WordPressholic (adj):
A person addicted to WordPress.

For a long time this year I found myself being a bit of a WP addict. From my faltering WP360 venture to actively pushing the use of WordPress in my job which lead to the development of the new Barnsley Hospital website I can’t remember a day where I’ve not thought about the platform.
