Are You a ProBlogger?
Here’s a Quiz to Find out for Sure!
What did you score?
PS: In actual fact it’s me testing the wbquiz plugin - don’t take it too seriously :-)
My name is Darren Rowse and I’m a full time Blogger making a living from this new and dynamic medium from blogs like Digital Photography School and TwiTip - Twitter Tips.
Back in 2002 I stumbled upon an article about ‘Blogging’. I didn’t know it at the time but that moment changed my life. Since then I've become a full time blogger and have blogged on over 20 blogs and co-founded the b5media blog network.

FYI: the domain is in dutch and loosely translates to “useless junk”. Glad too see the plugin works pretty well though ;-)

Woot! I got 30 out of 40. My continuing insistence on making most of my money from sites that aren’t technically blogs cost me a few points. :)

Looks like the plugin works OK - I’m a hobby blogger.

I’m just a “serious amateur,” but I wish I knew about this plug-in earlier, I wrote an entire quiz system on my own instead! Surely that gives me a few more points…

definately danae - give yourself 10 extra points :-)
on the plugin - it\’s not too hard to use - but does take a little hacking. I only just managed it (I\’m hopeless at anything techy so it\’d be easy for others) and am not sure I\’ll be using it that regularly due to the set up required each time you use it.
if anyone ever builds one that integrates into the back end of WP via an admin page or something I\’d be interested in seeing it!
It\’d also be great if it spat out some code at the end that those who did it could then post on their own blog with their results and a link back….

Great plugin, Darren!
I wonder if it works for the sidebar too (might be handy to use it instead of the public externally hosted polls and quizes).
I’ve obviously got a long way to go with my 15 out of 40 points and “some promising signs” ;)
Thanks for a pointer to the plugin, I’ll definitely take a closer look.

10/40. Aftering being involved in the blogosphere for only the last month, I hope this means I’ve had a good start. But I’m sure with what I’m learning from Problogger and some other great blogs, the future is good.

It’s a nice plugin, and I’m going to give a shot too. Anyways, I was rated as a “Serious Amateur”, very encouraging really. Another great post Darren! Kudos!

Very Cool :)
I’m a “Serious Amateur”, but unless I lose my full-time job, I’ll probably stay there…

12 out of 40, fun. :D
I’m hoping I’ll climb the ranks in the future. I’ll be a busy student come fall, but I enjoy blogging.

The “Serious Amateur” seems to be a very common result. I got 18 out of 40.
Not enough to leave my full time job yet.

I wasn’t surprised by my quiz score (very, very low). With the money I’ve made from my blog, I can’t even buy coffee yet (adsense doesn’t payout until you reach a certain dollar amount), I have enough in my adsense account for coffee, just not the actual cash.
But I’m not expecting to make a living from my blog (although it’s one of my goals), so I’m just having fun with it right now. For me, having fun with my blog is payment enough (for now!).

You managed to score 25 points out of 40.
I really like that plug-in, shame I don’t use Wordpress, quizzes and polls are such a good way to get people to participate.

with 11/40 i guess i am the youngest (lowest score) Serious Amateur here.
I am happy with the plugin’s result. its exactly what i would like to call myself. :D
but darren I think the range for Serious Amateur is quite large IMHO. 11 to 25 out of 40 is more then 37% and i don’t even know if those are the boundary values. If I am not wrong then you have 3 categories - i-don’t-know-the-name, Serious Amateur and real problogger.
Jack
ps: since you are testing your plug-in, feel free to take my suggestions :D
just kidding

it is pretty wide Jack - although the boundaries are actually wider. I think it’s possible to get -8 from memory :-)

Hi there, I’m starting to have great affection to these posts. As I was a disheartened guy, these posts helped me to get through difficult times by referring to Jeff Paul’s Internet Marketing that got me up with a huge profit
