Create WordPress Custom Post Easily

Recently, I have accepted a project that uses WordPress as its backend, from its design I can see I will be facing a lot of technical questions such as frontend post submission, frontend user registration and login and also different Post types, voting and a lot of forms.

Personally, I haven't involved in a full on WordPress development. I deal with it before, but just to that extend. Based on my impression, I'm alright with it because it doesn't have complicated template language, and its plugins are easy to modify. They way it's developed by using PHP and its Database are easy to understand (I'm comparing it with Joomla which always give me a major headache). I start this project with Bones WordPress Boilerplate.

My current project is near completion, absolutely happy with the result and it's fascinating that most of my technical issues were solved just by searching Google. There are vast supports and solutions for different kind of questions! You can find all sort of plugins but usually they don't do exactly what you want or it doesn't work at all. Nevertheless, I started to like WordPress even more, and I believe it can be transformed into a good CMS.

This time, we will be having a few tutorials on WordPress. A sharing of what I have learned throughout the development process. First one to look at is creating custom post type, category and tag.
