WordPress Trivia
10:20 am in Past Meetups by Steve
Last night we had our 2nd Annual WordPressNYC Holiday Mixer, and it was a blast.  Good food, good drink, and great networking with 100 WordPress meetup members. Three sponsors were dedicated to making our holidays a little more special by raffling off some awesome prizes:
- nrelate: iPod Nano.
- SocialFlow: Kindle Fire.
- Datagram: Free VPS for one year.
In the past, our raffles were sort of boring… pick a name out of a hat and you win. Â But this time I wanted to do something different. Â These were some great giveaways, and I wanted to make it a little challenging. Â So, not only was your name picked from a hat, but you had to answer a WordPress Trivia question as well. Â Apparently, some of the questions were a little difficult and not all members appreciated all the hard work I put into it.
 So we eventually nixed the trivia questions and went back to the hat idea.
I still think WordPress trivia questions are fun, so some of them are listed here for your amusement, in no apparent order. How many can you answer?
