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

I suggest you to check my theme for a slider solution:
http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/firmasite

You dont have to create a new CPT for sliders. Basically *marking* posts /
pages / custom post types are better solution for both you and your theme
users.


(PS: didnt read all messages, just read first one)
