   this is probably a really simple question buti can't seem to get it to work as i'm not that familiar with php.

   i have three custom fields that i want to display the values of but not the keys. the three keys are date, artist and description. the values would display on the single post page only.
   i was trying to use <?php get_post_custom_values(); ?> but nothng is showing up.

   when is use <?php the_meta(); ?> the keys and the values both show up but i don't want the keys.

   can someone tell me what the write code is that i should be dropping into my single.php template? sorry am such a programming retard..

   Like this?

   <?php
   echo get_post_custom_values('date');
   echo get_post_custom_values('artist');
   echo get_post_custom_values('description');
   ?>

   Or perhaps this?

   <?php
   echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'date', true);
   echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'artist', true);
   echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'description', true);
   ?>

   How you do it depends on what you're doing. Might want to read up here:
