 * Hey,
 * Little puzzled over this line and somethat follow it in the wp_insert_term function…
 * do_action(“create_term”, $term_id, $tt_id);
 * I need to customise create_term a little or maybe a lot but I cannot find it.
   Now I think I found a wp_create_term which one would assume is what I’m looking
   for but I then could not find how a connection is made between this do_action
   and that function.
 * Can someone shed some light on this please, thanks a lot.
    Ryan

 * This plugin will allow you to create custom taxonomies, so you might get some
   ideas there:
