[theme-reviewers] Custom post types in a theme?

Fri Apr 19 14:05:12 UTC 2013

Options for defining posts to be included in a slider:

1. Sticky posts
2. Category or Tag taxonomy
3. Custom Post Meta (e.g. "_themename_featured" or "_themename_slider")

There are probably more; these are just off the top of my head.
