“Featured Taxonomy”“Featured Custom Meta Select BoxThe Post type:
###The TaxonomyOn second thought lets use a custom field for the featured video post and create a drop down select custom meta box to choose if the post is featured.
Set up the custom meta box:
Here is our cool little featured video post selector we just created:
Now lets query the video posts that are featured:
Same as with every other post type, really…use a category…or whatever other method you prefer (tag, custom taxonomy, custom metadata/field,…).
