Tire
New rear tire at odo mile 5374
Added a new “maintenance” category. But I think it might be better to keep it out of here and create a separate maintenance log to keep track of mileage, repairs and costs. Hmm..
WordPress does have “custom fields” that could be used to keep track of this, though. I wonder what the API is to get at that stuff… It doesn’t show up during the regular item display.

Doesn’t look like it would help much in this situation. Categories work better, unless you want to let us know that your bike is feeling “discombobulated”.

Sure. Go read the documentation. Hmmpf.
I see. You need to either modify the template or write a plugin. I suppose that would be good if you wanted to keep a running total of something.
I could see how it might be useful to keep stats for a ride or something. But that sort of thing would vary by category making it less useful. I think I’ll write a maintenance log like the ride log.
