Meta Box HTML

When the screen in the back-end renders, WordPress calls our meta box callback, which we called render_meta_box. In your code, that function does the following tasks:

1. Grabs the metadata out of the database.
2. Does processing if you need it.
3. Loads our view file, which gets rendered out to the browser.

Make sure you do this episode with me, as I walk through the code, HTML, and thought processes. You’ll see how little code it takes to create the meta box’s HTML.
