   Hopefully somebody can assist me because I'm having no luck. I'm not an experienced coder but I'd really like to accomplish this. I want to link the title of my posts to external sources and I hope to use a conditional+custom field to do this. The custom field key is titled "source" and the value will be a url. So id like to say..

   IF source (the key of my custom field)
   
   url (the value of my custom field)
   
   ELSE
   
   <?php the_permalink() ?>

   Could somebody please give me some help?

   Sorry to bump but I can't figure this out. This is what I have but I get errors and I'm basically clueless.

   `<?php if (get_post_meta($post->ID, 'source', true) ) {
   <h1>ID, "source", $single = true); ?>" rel="external" title="External Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
   } else {
   <h1>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
   }
   ?>`

   I got it.

   <?php if (get_post_meta($post->ID, 'source', true) ) { ?>
   				<h1><a href="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "source", $single = true); ?>" rel="external" title="External Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
   				<?php } else { ?>
                   <h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
   				<?php } ?>
