Total Geek? Me?

Catching up on my feed, I read The Parodist's latest entry and was intrigued by what she posted, and made me want to answer her question. First off: Yes I upgraded to the latest version of WordPress. I try to update as soon as possible, because as Melanie Marquez puts it, you can never can tell. Second: The new admin interface of WordPress is refreshing, as I mentioned in a previous post. Me like it. Third: I thought I was a techie until I took the Geek Test. It made me realize how much I still want to learn. Fourth: You know, just the usual run-of-the-mill Nick Burns type. What my officemates tell me is that I should be in the IT department. That's how they thank me for coming to their rescue. Or that's what I think. A geek thing I do, in a weird way, is I can read the source code of a program without learning the language it was written. A Rosetta stone lodged in my head? Highly unlikely. Fifth: I tried taking the geek test. And sixth: I only made 31.75542% To the Parodist: hope you're having fun with, or getting used to, the new admin interface of WordPress 2.5.

Still too early to tell. I guess I need to work with it more often. I like the interface, too. Anyway, thanks! :)

@keysi, at first but in reality NO! Especially when editing posts. You have to click edit post before but now you just click the post you have written and you be able to edit your post. Second, integration of multimedia files manager is a huge addition. embedding videos, images and music files are easier now. No plugins needed.. but there are issues with the gallery according to Wp forum.

==============================
Reading the Geek Quiz was painfull! because I haven't done most of them haha...

I think the issues with the gallery concerns the theme being used. That's just a theory, of course. Anyway, make sure you make a backup of everything as WP 2.3 and above will remove and/or change your database tables.
