 Replying to [comment:5 cdwharton]:
 > Is there a simple check I can make on the function to check if its blank
 on initial load to just ignore until "Publish" is hit?

 You need a nonce field and to check the nonce before continuing on in your
 save_post callback.

 > Is there a better way to add custom meta boxes than the example I have
 provided?

 In this particular example, I am wondering why you don't use the excerpt.
 There are also a few things that should be changed, but Trac is not really
 the place for a non-core code review.
