Experimenting with Custom Post Types for Events

Just an experiment. This should display an events listing, with each entry going to a details page formatted with custom post types in WordPress 3.0.

I’ve written several versions of an events management plugin. This next one will have 2 main advantages:

  • By taking advantage of the built-in WordPress custom post types and URL-mapping, the events listings will take advantage of more native functionality, including the search engine optimization virtues of WordPress.
  • I’ve been working to do a better job of handling events that span multiple days.

This is still a work in progress, need to make it prettier and more functional still.
