• Words for WordPress

    Here’s a bit of a break from the news, tutorials, and discussions as we recover from a pleasant Christmas. We thought we’d cook up a few words to describe people who work with WordPress. Enjoy, and happy holidays!

    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.

    I wonder if the word “wordpress” will ever be used as interchangeably as the word “google”.

    I googled myself.
    I created a wordpress.

    Who knows :)
