All of the code below can be put inside your functions.php page in your theme folder.

It all starts with the function register_post_type:

register_post_type ( $post_type, $options );

The $post_type is the name of the custom post type you want to associate it as. For example we will create a custom post type called Events like the below code:

$options = array
(
    'label' => 'Events',
    'singular_label' => 'Event',
    'public' => TRUE,
    'show_ui' => TRUE,
    'capability_type' => 'post',
    'hierarchical' => TRUE,
    'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'events' ),
    'query_var' => TRUE,
    'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'author' )
);

register_post_type ( 'events', $options );

The description and other options can be found on the register_post_type function page at WordPress’ website.

Now you will have a custom post type in the backend of your WordPress theme.

The app has been working pretty good so far. The only thing I have had an issue with is when I set a run for a specific distance, it does not auto stop recording the time for it. I ended up added 2-3 extra minutes to my average for a mile because I did not know I had to manually stop the time once I was done. No worries tho.

I really like how it will auto sync to my Nike Plus account and keep track of my path I run with GPS and the pace of my run along that path. It also keeps track of each run with a total of time, distance and calories burned.

Another great featured I enjoy is the voice settings. You can have it tell you how far you have run at increments as low as .25 miles. You can also do your settings in kilometers. After you do a run, you can let it know how you felt during your run, leave a note, and set up your conditions during your run.

Once your run is over it displays a list of badges that will let you know what your run accomplished. Such as beating your best time, or beating your farthest distance. It is truly a great app to keep track of your running and to get you to keep running.

I just got done running for the 4^th time this two weeks and can already start feeling an improvement in how I feel. I started with just running one mile and have gotten up to just around 1 1/2 miles.

remove_action ( 'wp_head', 'wp_generator' )

It will auto remove the tag that says:

<meta name="generator" content="WordPress 3.0.1" />

A URI must represent an object, uniquely and permanently

One of the most fundamental philosophies behind a URI is that it represents a data object on the Internet. The URI must be unique so that it is a one-to-one match – one URI per one data object.

I am not much of an SEO guy but from what I have learned from others it is not good to have users going to a site with the www and without the www. You want them all to be 301 redirected to one or the other. My choice would be without the www.

When you type in the url of a website do you really type in the www part of the website, do you even need to? I think it is safe to assume that most non web related people do not know you can get to a website without the www or the http part of a url. Even Google Chrome is going to be dropping the http part of the url. Now that is in just the address bar of their browser but still, why make the user have to type more then they need to.

The www. should be dropped from the website URI, as it is unnecessary typing and violates the rules of being as human-friendly as possible and not including unnecessary information in the URI.

The explosion of JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as jQuery onto the front-end development scene has opened up the power of JavaScript to a far wider audience than ever before. It was born of the need — expressed by a crescendo of screaming by front-end developers who were fast running out of hair to pull out — to improve JavaScript’s somewhat primitive API, to make up for the lack of unified implementation across browsers and to make it more compact in its syntax.

All of which means that, unless you have some odd grudge against jQuery, those days are gone — you can actually get stuff done now. A script to find all links of a certain CSS class in a document and bind an event to them now requires one line of code, not 10. To power this, jQuery brings to the party its own API, featuring a host of functions, methods and syntactical peculiarities. Some are confused or appear similar to each other but actually differ in some way. This article clears up some of these confusions.

I have learned so much about WordPress 3.0 that I have started to created a framework for creating new themes easily.

The next couple tutorials I post will be about creating widgets, plugins, admin sections and other sweet things for WordPress.

ini_set ( 'display_errors', '1' );
