i just added the first, of many, products to this site: http://bandit4x4.com/wordpress/4×4-truck-parts/steering-parts/oem-stock-idler-arm-bushings/

i have a few questions though about entering additional products:

1. i want be able to submit products. and I also want a separate Blog where I submit stories. i know the blog stories will be posts, but should i enter my products as posts or pages? basically, is there a way to have the blog page ignore posts from certain categories (which would be the product categories)???

2. is there any way to setup a product template so i don’t have to type in all the headings each time i add a new product. all my product submissions will look the same. can i avoid constantly typing in “Product”, “Applications”, “Features”, and all the other headings in a product submission???

please advise. thanks in advance!

i learned the answer to #1 which is I needed to add a query_posts line below the comment block in loop.php, like this:
```
* @since Twenty Ten 1.0
 */
?>

<strong><?php query_posts('category_name=Offroading Stories'); ?></strong>

<?php /* Display navigation to next/previous pages when applicable */ ?>
```
but anyone know about my second question?

Maybe you need to take a look at Custom Post Types. Here’s an excellent write-up on the subject by Justin Tadlock:
