Repetitive data in WordPress posts

Question

I am creating a tutorial site for music producers. On each tutorial (post, that is) there will be some information that are repetitive and recurring, so I was wondering what's the best practice to enter this data while creating a post to later being able to present it in the post?

This is an example, where the data is bold and labels in plain: Requirements: Steinberg Cubase, ProTools (an array) Estimated time: 1 hour (string) Project files: File 1, File 2 (files)

Any good plug-ins or such?

Answer 1

If you just need to format the data in a special way, and you are entering unique data as your enter each post then, I would enter the data in custom fields, and then use a custom post type to display it. It's quite neat.

If the data is the same for every post, then just edit your single post (and possibly category, main index, etc) theme file to add this data.

Since you mention arrays and such, you might be talking about having selectable data to add as you are writing posts? The best solution I know of for this is PodsCMS

How about build-in custom fields functionality?
