Recently I read this article on how to create custom "meta boxes", or places to input custom data, on your posts in WordPress. It's a pretty long process, with lots of steps, custom PHP code, and more.

So, I figured, why not show how to do that in MODX? In fact, why not show how much less work it takes? Or how it takes exactly 0 lines of PHP code? And how it's already in the core of MODX, and much more seamlessly done? And do it in less than 1 minute?

Sure, why not? Sounds fun!

A few people have asked how I did the reCaptcha support in my comments section of the site. It was actually pretty simple, and didn't require any coding at all. Thanks Quip.

So, you might ask, how did I do the tagging in this blog? In this post, I'll show some of the snippets and code that got the sleek tagging on splittingred.com.

You might ask how I did the archives section on the right when you're viewing a blog post. It was pretty simple, actually, and just required a little bit of a smart Resource structure and a Wayfinder call.
