 * Hi,
 * I am used to make 2 types of websites: from nothing, pure HTML/CSS, and with 
   WordPress with its dynamic part which handles the posts and with some blocks 
   of texts here and there (for design purpose) in the code base.
 * Now I would like to make that these pieces of text can be managed from the administration
   of WordPress. I called it in the title custom field but I’m not sure it is the
   appropriate term.
 * How can I do that?
 * The only solution I imagined until now is to create a post for each and just 
   pull its description from the codebase with the post ID, but it doesn’t sound
   correct to me, they are not posts, they are blocks of text.
 * Thanks =)
