[wp-hackers] Handling Custom Meta Boxes

[John Blackbourn]

You might want to also check that the post isn't a revision, as IIRC
the save_post hook is fired twice for each save - once for the post
and once for the revision. wp_is_post_revision() and
wp_is_post_autosave() are handy functions for this.
