It’s time to announce the winners of the WordPress Trivia game I started back in 2009. The game was fun and although I didn’t ask as many questions as I’d like, it was a challenge to stump those who regularly contributed to the game. To all who played, I hope you had fun. The winners are as follows:
- Josh Leuze – StudioPress All Themes Package
- Kim Parsell – The Shopp E-Commerce Plugin
- Conorp – An account with WordPress centric Webhosting provider PremiumWPHosting
I also want to say thank you to each company who volunteered a prize as part of this Trivia game. I won’t be continuing the trivia segment into 2010. If your name is mentioned in this post, I’ll be in contact with you via email to get your prizes squared away.

Longtime listeners of WordPress Weekly know that recently, we’ve started a new segment called WordPress trivia. Up until now, the segment has been used as a means of education and also to have a bit of fun. However, I’ve decided to turn this segment into a game by awarding points to the first three people who answer the question correctly within the comments of that shownotes page. The point system is as follows:
- Be the first to get it right and earn – 3 points
- Be the second to get it right and earn – 2 points
- Be the third to get it right and earn – 1 point
There will be other methods of earning points as well such as through the WPTavern forum and by interacting with me on Twitter. The bonus point amount will be announced along with the question. Only the first person to get the correct answer will receive the bonus point amount.
The scorecard will be kept on the Trivia page along with the rules, how to participate and the prizes that will be up for grabs at the end of the year. Speaking of prizes, if you’re interested in sponsoring this shindig with a prize package, please get in touch with me. At the end of the year, the top point totals will be able to choose their prize until there are no prizes left.
I plan on starting the trivia game with the July 3rd edition of WordPress Weekly. If you have any comments or suggestions related to the game or ideas on how to make this thing rock, let me know.
