One of my favourite features of the upcoming WordPress 3.0 (so far) is the custom post types functionality, which means I can create a whole new post type, with a whole new permalink structure (and single post design / archive) to my main set of posts.

I’ve spent a little of the last couple of days reading around online, and having a little play-  I’m going to write a proper post about it on BlogPremiere at some point in the next week or so, before the official launch sometime at the start of May.

I’d like to go through how anyone can use a custom post type on their blog, and how easy they are to get setup – because they really are and they could add an extra dimension to a WordPress site (as well as making a multi-user site far easier to manage).

I’ve added a new post type on iamPearce called photos, I’m going to see how that works out, and then extend it for use on BlogPremiere – I have a couple of ideas for new features that could be separate from the main blog, and beneficial to the site users.

I’ve yet to work out how to enable categories in the custom post types, but I’ve got tags – I love the challenge of learning new stuff about what I consider myself an expert at

Expect a post on BlogPremiere sometime in the next couple of weeks!
