Dougal Campbell's geek ramblings

Spent some lunch hours this week working on “post meta” hacks for WordPress. This will allow users to add arbitrary extra fields to their blog posts.

We’re still discussing exactly how we’re going to implement the template functions for the new data. In my test blog, I just made a function that spits the data out as a list of key:value pairs, basically.
