Here I finish what I started in part 7 of the WordPress Featured Content tutorial.
I’m focusing on how to dynamically create the featured content slider after a new post has been saved.
The main skills you’ll develop here, aside from how to make the slider, is how to keep your code very organized as you proceed through a complicated project.
This tutorial is both a continuation of WordPress News Theme and my WordPress Featured Content Tutorial.
In this tutorial I’ll show you how to turn the previous html / css version of the featured content slider into a WordPress featured content plugin.
You’ll learn how to make a meta box that allows the user to define the featured image they want to associate with their post.
