Custom Post Types and my index.php

Hello,

I’ve worked in web design for a while, but have never tried to code a WordPress theme from scratch, and i’m learning a lot, but i’ve hit a little wall, i’m hoping someone can help.

I’ve created Custom Post Types using the plug in, and have arranged the fields as i want, and i can get everything to look perfectly on the single.php file.

The main problem i am having, is these posts types, labeled “Standard” only appear under “Standard” post types and NOT listed under “ALL POSTS”

Ideally, i’d like the client to be able to go to the UI, select the post type, and it will appear in the main blog feed (index.php).

As of now, its just in its own world..

can you help?

thanks!
