    Hi all,

    Is there some sort of plugin that would allow me to have a different sort of blog post than the normal type?

    For example, something that will allow me to create a news form that inputs this sort of code:

    An international collaborative effort has recently uncovered the genome of the zebra finch, a songbird model that has provided unique insights into an array of biological phenomena.

    <blockquote>A whole bunch of words but less than a full paragraph from the original news source, preferable the first paragraph under the headline<a href="https://LOCATION OF ARTICLE"> More...</a></blockquote>
    <strong>Further Reading: </strong>
    
    <a title="OTHER SOURCE" href="https://SOURCE LINK target="_blank">TITLE OF SOURCE</a>

    I realize it would be easy enough to copy/paste such code into a regular post, but I also want it to be handled a bit differently than a regular blog post, for example if someone searches the blog categories, anything in the ‘news’ will not show up…and if they search news, blog posts won’t show up.

    Hope that’s not all clear as mud…
