//How it Works
<?php add_meta_box( $id, $title, $callback, $page, $context, $priority, $callback_args ); ?> 

$id is “wpt_events_location”- or the html id that will be applied to this metabox.
$title is “Event Location”. This appears at the top of the new metabox when displayed.
$callback is the function “wpt_events_location” which will load the html into the metabox.
$page is “events”, the name of our custom post type.
$context is “side”. If you wanted it to load below the content area, you could put “normal”.
$priority controls where the metabox will display in relation to the other metaboxes. You can put “high”, “low” or “default”.

// Add the Events Meta Boxes

function add_events_metaboxes() {
	add_meta_box('wpt_events_date', 'Event Date', 'wpt_events_date', 'events', 'side', 'default');

	$location = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_location', true);
	
	// Echo out the field
	echo '<input type="text" name="_location" value="' . $location  . '" class="widefat" />';

}
// Save the Metabox Data

function wpt_save_events_meta($post_id, $post) {

	// We'll put it into an array to make it easier to loop though.

	// Add values of $events_meta as custom fields
	
	foreach ($events_meta as $key => $value) { // Cycle through the $events_meta array!
		if( $post->post_type == 'revision' ) return; // Don't store custom data twice
