 * Hi every body.
    im trying to write a plugin that will count for any user new 
   posts when added, but i saw just post_publish hook that is activated on post 
   send and on post published status change. is there a hook for just “new post”?
   or is there any way to check if the post published is new or just new to be published?

 * Have you checked [here](http://adambrown.info/p/wp_hooks/version/3.0)? It’s a
   pretty complete guide.

 * [save_post](http://adambrown.info/p/wp_hooks/hook/save_post) Runs whenever a 
   post or page is created or updated, which could be from an import, post/page 
   edit form, xmlrpc, or post by email. Action function arguments: post ID.

 * yea i know that didnt help me in the first time either..
    my quastion was how
   to check if the saved post was a new post or just an update to an exiting post…
 * I already found a way to check this…
    new post doesnt have any id set to it yet.
   so the code looks like that: `if($post->post_parent == 0 && $post->post_type 
   == 'post' && !$post->ID)`
 * i had to do some other check on deleted post either, because the “delete_post”
   hook run whenever a post data deleted… page or post or revision…

 * I’m using the next code to handle the first time post publish event.
    WordPress
   3.0+ required. ` add_action( 'publish_post', 'run_when_post_published_first_time',
   10,2 ); function run_when_post_published_first_time($post_id, $post) { // Checks
   whether is post updated or published at first time. if ($post->post_date != $
   post->post_modified) return;
 *  // Place here your code
    }
 * P.S. Sorry for my english.
