Understanding Action Hooks In Wordpress

WordPress Action Hooks

Nathan Rice very succinctly defines action hooks as:

a means of providing a way for other developers to insert their own code in specific locations within your code, in order to change or expand the functionality of your code.

I’m looking forward to Nathan’s new affiliation with Studio Press and the release of their Genesis Framework.  Action hooks are important to understand in order to build child themes based on the “parent”  framework.
