Think of all the site topics that demand more than just a title and a post body. Recipes that include nutritional information. Film pages that list cast and crew names. Books that have won awards.

We’ve probably all been guilty of stuffing this extra related content – videos, links, dates, images, product specs, supporting info – down into the bottom of the post field, leaving it at the mercy of general post body styling. We’re not proud, but we can be.

We can do better!

This talk will help you choose your tools and start now. We’ll cover:

• Examples of sites that use WordPress to extend the way content is presented on the page
• An overview of techniques you can use to control presentation, including custom post types, templates, fields, plugins, conditionals and more.
• A step-by-step tutorial on combining custom fields with page templates (suitable for newish-to-intermediate theme developers).
