 * Hello, I have 2 questions about custom post type.
    1. I have created a custom
   post type, and i have deleted the exisitng fields for a regular post(title, and
   the big text area for your post), and have created my own fields which are all
   mandatory, 1 of them is Name. What happens when i create a new post of my custom
   post type is that I see all of them titled as Auto Draft, i assume this happens
   since I dont have the title field any more, so my quesion is, how can I set it
   to display the Name field in the list of posts instead of this “Auto Draft”.
 * 2. I would like to separate the categories for my custom post type and the regular
   posts, meaning I will have a list of categories for Post, and a diffrent list
   of categories for my custom post, and if so, how would I loop through the categories
   of only the custom post type.
 * I hope I was clear with my questions.
    Thanks in advance, Gabi.
