Say I want a different section in the WP New Post/Page in the dashboard, so that I can add additional features that are specific to the post for page?

How difficult will it be?
Have anyone tried it..

EG: I want a twitter stream in every post that is specific to the post. or a Picture gallery, or related Youtube videos...

Or say a two column table where I can have to columns of additional features..
And the list goes on.

I would like to be able to customize every posts, without having to add the code in the default Post Editor Text Area..

Much like Custom field..

Is there any plugin that does this?

If I were to pay a programmer to do this, do I have to update the change everytime WP comes up with a new release?

Thanks...
 


Well, I don't understand exactly what you want but I've customized WP before. For example, I have a book database site where every time I create a new post, I can specify the genre of the book, author, ISBN, etc.
You can try with custom type posts and/or custom taxonomies. It's a bunch of code, but it's not that difficult.

This is a kick ass post explaining that:
Custom post types in WordPress

If you're too lazy or you're not too familiar with PHP coding, you can try this plugin
GD Custom Posts And Taxonomies Tools, WordPress Plugin | Dev4Press

I use it and it's quite easy to use.

Thanks... for the insight bro..

But what excatly did you do with this Book db site of yours?

I would like to able to add some content specific to the post.. But I would like to add that content from outside the Text Editor or the Post editor..

I won't want to have to add images and videos within the post..
Just like you can have a related posts below the posts, I would like to add other stuff like twitter feed, videos etc..that will make the page unique..

Like the squidoo modules... You know what I mean?
But I only want to show it in specific pages.
