    Great Podcast

    Question…which plugin are you using for your podcast. I need a easy way to include podcast on my site. Does WordPress 3.0 have an easy way to include audio w/player like it does for YouTube videos…etc?

    I just wanted to let you know about two great Plugins.

    One that made the menu possible in more or less the same way and without any pain is the Menubar Plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/menubar/). I used this for most of my sites and not sure if I’m going to change to the WP Menu system for all of them (although this probably has to be done some time in the future).

    The other one is for the Custom Post Type feature. The WebDevStudio Plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/) gives great control over this new feature in the backend. But it doesn’t seem to solve the problem of actually have them show up on the site. This is one I will put on my local install the next time I get to play around a bit.

    Gracias. I have been developing websites for ten years and three years ago when I started building them in WP, I stumbled onto css-tricks.com and Chris. There are many different ways to solve www problems, but I decided that until I found somebody more knowledgable, Chris was my guru and css-tricks was my university. (Did you edit out his Brett Favre comments?) Greatly enjoyed all the info in your podcast. I’ll be back!

    Digging into WordPress is an awesome book. I recommend it to anyone interested in getting started in WordPress. Keep up the great work, Chris! I can’t wait to see the one for 3.0!
