Man, I agree…I had no idea setting up custom post types were that involved. Thanks for the great writeup, though! It’s been something I’ve been wanting to learn more about for a while now.
I was able to work through your tutorial and get it to work as intended — after all the others I’ve been going through and struggling to get to do anything, that’s saying something!
However, I need to do a different application of the same thing — rather than a field for a class, I want some profile fields (like social media usernames, website URL, email address, etc.) and then I want to display them in the post.
Can you direct me to a resource about how to do that kind of thing?
Smashing WordPress + Justin Tadlock = Awesome
Much appreciated! To be honest, I thought there would be a simpler way. Thanks for laying it out step-by-step for us non WP gurus.

@justin – I like the idea of creating a post class box. Your tutorials are always very useful and spot on.
