I’ll be speaking on WordPress’ Custom Post Type at WordCamp Columbus

WordCamp Columbus will be held June 17th and 18th at The Columbus State Conference Center. The point of WordCamps is to celebrate this open tool by teaching people how to use WordPress, how to bend it to their will, and even how to leverage it as a business- and to do it all for about the price of lunch. You can get more information on WordCamp Columbus at wordcampcolumbus.com.

The schedule shows a wide variety of topics being discussed for designers and developers as well as marketing topics. I will be speaking on custom post types for WordPress and demonstrating how to develop a plugin using custom post types. If you’re unfamiliar with custom post types, they are great addition to WordPress. They allow you to create new types of posts that can be used for events, faqs, products, a portfolio. I hope to soon release a new FAQ plugin on WordPress that will be completely based off of the new custom post types.

To get a better understanding of Custom Posts Types you can read the WordPress Codex page on Post Types. I hope to see you WordCamp Columbus!
