[wp-hackers] the right hook for custom content

[Jennifer Hodgdon]

You only need to flush rewrite rules if you are using one of the 
actions/filters that creates new rewrite rules. The reason for 
flushing is that the rewrite rules are saved in the database after 
they are generated, rather than being generated on each page load, so 
you have to tell WP that it needs to create a new set of rules.

The actions below do not affect rewrite rules, so you don't have to 
flush them.
