 * I know there is a way but I have not been able to get it right, yet.
    I have 
   four custom post types and I want to put each one into a list of all their post
   titles. I know I need `the_title()` and `the_permalink()` But how do I specify
   which post type to pull from?

 * If you are using WP_Query you could use the post_type parameter:
 * `$query = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => array( 'post', 'page', 'movie','
   book' ) ) );`
 * Or for a single post type:
 * `$query = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'book' ) );`

 * Thank you, that was exactly what I needed!
 *     ```
       $query = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => array( 'labs', 'activities', 'projects', 'testreview' ) ) );
   
       while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post();
       	echo '<li><a href="';
       	the_permalink();
       	echo '">';
       	the_title();
       	echo '</a></li>';
       endwhile;
       ```
