thanks john (i should just keep you on retainer here).

i’m using the following code in the theme’s functions.php file:

// Add Multiple Custom Post Types

add_action('init', 'all_custom_post_types');

function all_custom_post_types() {
  $types = array(
    // News
    array('the_type' => 'news',
          'single' => 'News',
          'plural' => 'News'),
    // Artists
    array('the_type' => 'artist',
          'single' => 'Artist',
          'plural' => 'Artists'),
    // Releases
    array('the_type' => 'release',
          'single' => 'Release',
          'plural' => 'Releases')
  );

foreach ($types as $type) {
  $the_type = $type['the_type'];
    $single = $type['single'];
    $plural = $type['plural'];
  $labels = array(
      'name' => _x($plural, 'post type general name'),
      'singular_name' => _x($single, 'post type singular name'),
      'add_new' => _x('Add New', $single),
      'add_new_item' => __('Add New '. $single),
      'edit_item' => __('Edit '.$single),
      'new_item' => __('New '.$single),
      'view_item' => __('View '.$single),
      'search_items' => __('Search '.$plural),
      'not_found' =>  __('No '.$plural.' found'),
      'not_found_in_trash' => __('No '.$plural.' found in Trash'),
      'parent_item_colon' => ''
    );
    $args = array(
      'labels' => $labels,
      'public' => true,
      'publicly_queryable' => true,
      'show_ui' => true,
      'query_var' => true,
      'rewrite' => true,
      'capability_type' => 'post',
      'hierarchical' => false,
      'has_archive' => true,
      'menu_position' => 5,
      'supports' => array('title','editor','thumbnail'),
      'show_in_menu' => true,
      'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
      'taxonomies' => array( 'category' )
    );

    register_post_type($the_type, $args);
  }
}

is this what you mean?
