New Posts - Setting default custom field values (2 posts)

    I have a WP blog that uses custom fields to allow integration with SIMILE Timeline. The custom fields are:
    "icon"
    "enddate"
    "duration"
    "visitag"

    I'm not a programmer, but can follow directions well, so please bear with me please.

    Questions:
    1. How can I modify the WP New Post template to show & plug in default values for the above custom fields?
    2. For those custom fields, how can I create dropdown lists for existingt/new values, similar to how the custom fields dynamically provide a drop down list as new metatags are entered.

    If you're interested in what I'm trying to accomplish, take a look at my proof of concept WP site at:

    Thx. in advance.
