[wp-hackers] Custom Role and Custom Post Types

[Ryan Bilesky]

Ya I find it works well, since they dont have too go to the backend
interface it keeps the site consistent for my users, it avoids the issues
you are having, and since my custom posts also have alot of meta data
associated with them, i can have the form collect the data and save it in a
consistent manner.
