 * Hiya –
 * I’m creating a website using wordpress as a CMS with a few different custom post
   types for different types of content.
 * What I’d like to know is how to remove, unregister or at least re-name the default
   post type (current called ‘posts’).
 * Have anyone done this or know how?
 * Many thanks
    Stef

 * Great – thanks.
 * I’ll try it out after then weekend.
    It was mainly to keep things simple for 
   my client when they are in the admin back end. I found a work around by hiding
   the ‘Posts’ menu from them which did the job, but this might be the cleaner way
   to to do it.
 * Many thanks!
