I've been searching for examples of the usage of the highly acclaimed CMS features (especially Custom post types and taxonomies), and yes, it seems that the "features" do indeed feel " a little hackish for such an acclaimed new feature ". It's like noone is paying attention to the actual end users of the site. After all, this conetnt has to be accessible. What's the utility of "Great New CMS features" if they can only be implemented by hacks to the core? That's just one step away from using plugins. In fact, I've resorted to looking at plugins to provide an actual admin UI that actually provides an end result of a useful and well organized site. And I all I want to do is create a system to enter Author info (and include bio, the author's books (and the types/subject matter of thosebooks, links to the author's website(s) and podcasts or videos related to the author, and then: The big feature: A website page from which the user can find the author by name, by their book(s), by the subject matter of their book(s), etc. I've not been able to find a way to add tagging to any item under the custom taxonomy of "books" under a particular author. So thanks for raising this issue. Hey “thecitizen”,
