   I’ve seen custom fields being used in a theme here or there but I have yet to really take a look around to see how powerful of a feature custom fields really is. I’ll have to give this a good read through

   I’ve already been using this for thumbnails, meta descriptions, and keywords for a while. I have quite a few other uses that I need to convert over from regular custom fields as well.

   You’ll see something like this in my next theme (beta version should be released within a day).

   Custom fields are great and custom panels on the Write Post screen make them incredibly simple for the average user to use. I’ve written a number of plugins for clients where all they really wanted was the custom panels (plus the custom field integration into the theme, obviously). Using it for adding updates to the end of a post with special styling is a real simple thing, I don’t imagine it would take more then 20 minutes to make.

   I came across a plugin called More Fields a little while back, which essentially allows users to create additional fields for their post easily, which I think is related to what is being shown here, so thought I’d share it with others too http://labs.dagensskiva.com/plugins/more-fields/
