Smashing Custom Fields
Posted on 29. Apr, 2010 by Alex Denning in Coding
Just a quick note to let you know that my first article on SmashingMagazine has been published.
It’s all about custom fields. Specifically, Extending WordPress With Custom Fields, a great little topic. In the post I go through just about everything I can think of that’s awesome to do with custom fields. One of the topics, setting a different background with each post is something I’ll expand on here on Shout at a later date.
It was certainly an interesting experience writing for Smashing Magazine. To give you an idea how vigorous they are with their posts, I did the first draft of this post back in January. Since then I’ve had to expand the post twice although they didn’t find any flaws in my code ![]()
I did warn this was a quick note. Do take a look at it and let me know what you think.

Enjoyed the post? We'll see you on Twitter or in your RSS reader!
