The Easter Egg Hunt Is On!
I love Easter Eggs because usually they are made of chocolate which I fully believe should be a food group and a meal on its own
Although man can’t live on bread alone I’d sure like to give a chocolate and coffee diet a good go!
But, Easter Eggs aren’t always about my obsession with chocolate.
There are other types of Easter Eggs
An Easter Egg is often inserted into games, software and interactive websites. It’s just a little bit of code that when the user comes across gives them an unexpected surprise. Easter Eggs aren’t frightening they are just a surprise for stumbling across the hidden treasure.
Some people just love hunting for Easter Eggs in programs.
When Matt from WordPress indicated that WordPress 3.0 had some Easter Eggs in it that you might be able to see on HD the hunt was on. I’ve watched the video in HD a number of times, admittedly without my glasses on but I still couldn’t find the Easter Egg
Then, just when I was playing with WP 3.0 and not expecting to find the Easter Egg – I found it!!! Then not long later I found another one. Now, my only problem is how many Easter Eggs are there to be found before this hunt can be officially over?
If you want to see the Easter Eggs in action watch the short video below. There is no sound on the video because of an I D 10 T error (yes I’m the idiot that didn’t have the microphone on!).
Watch what happens when you login with the incorrect details or compare post revisions with the same revision.
I have to say that I did spend way too much time amusing myself with the Easter Eggs like a small child fascinated by a new toy!
Another way to find Easter Eggs rather than my click buttons and hope for the best approach is to compare the code between WP 3.0 and WP 2.9. Of course, this does sound like a lot of work but it really is bothering me if I have missed an Easter Egg somewhere!

Thanks for showing me the two eggs you have found. I haven’t upgraded to 3.0 yet (well, actually, I did, then it blew up my theme so I reverted to an older version), and tried the two post comparison one.. and guess what…
Either there was some code left after I reverted (doubtful), or the egg was actually added in the earlier version.
Anyone know when the comparison easter egg first made it’s appearance?

Ahh but that’s an old easter egg from 2.6, but a lot of folks think it’s from 3.0

Sorry I wasn’t clear on this. I was referring to the post revision comparison egg.

Rather cool site to spend some time on reading it as for me. The only question I have, why haven’t you you add it to social bookmarking sites? It should bring pretty big traffic to this page.
