# Reusable and easily modifiable content

 * Hi everyone,
 * I’m completely new to WordPress and I have a question that may be stupid.
    Basically,
   I’d like all of my posts to start in the same with, with:
 * – The title of the post
    – The name of its author – Its featured image for that
   particular post – Its date of publication – Some pre-defined text (always the
   same) mixed with some text specific to that particular post, defined by the author(
   for example, the pre-defined text would state “Room :” and be followed by a text
   string defined by the author of the post, such as “bathroom”)
 * Moreover, I’d like to be able to modify this for all pages sometime in the future
   without having to open and edit them all individually.
 * How can I achieve that?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * This sounds like something you could easily achieve with a Custom Post Type.

 * Thanks for your answer! I must admit this is all a little confusing for me (I
   have no knowledge of PHP).
 * In my case, since absolutely all posts would start in the exact same way, I’m
   not sure a Custom Post Type would be necessary – I think I could instead modify
   the template that is used by all posts. Am I right so far or is there a good 
   reason for creating a custom post type instead?
 * Also, I’m not sure of what I must do to allow users to define the value of variables
   from within their post (for example : allow them to state that variable “Room”
   should be equal to string “Bathroom”), but I stumbled upon “[Custom fields](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Custom_Fields)”
   in the meantime – this seems to be the way to go, correct?
