please!
someone help meh?

anyone?

nix that – i got that figured out too now. i am using another plugin called Get “Custom Field Values” i am using it within a php if statement and its working like a charm.

let me say i apologize profusely for the dealyed response. i had a daughter and just moved to a new state so my life has been hectic. no. seriously hectic. anyways. i use categories for the different disciplines and i use the loop to pull the data out per category. as for the thumbs i am using theExcerpt, just popping an image link in there.
i am creating my own thumbs since i want to control whats in them. i hope that answers any questions. i am a WP newb really so i just read alot. the thing i am trying to do right now which really has me baffled is making checkboxes for the different project descriptors (design / direction / flash , etc.) using custom fields. and then depending on which ones i select they display the little colored icon. i can make the custom fields no problem but i cant retrieve the meta data properly and change it into an image.

works like a charm! – THANK YOU!!

so what would the whole code chunk look like? (i’m not a programmer)

?? thanks!

thank you kindly!

thanks!

i found a solution.

<?php query_posts(‘category_name=blog&showposts=4’); ?>

using query posts you can set how many to show.
i just set my main prefs for 9999 and that way i can choose per category this way!

is it just me? i cannot find a download link for the custom query string plugin on that page. it looks like it would do the trick! i just can’t figure out where to download it.

indeed.

nm – duh, i needed posts in the past to show it…..
