   So I built a form for people to post their own stories on my blog, it works well the post gets added as expected, however I ran into some trouble trying to add custom fields to the post. Here is my code (the important stuff anyways):

   $newPost = array(
   			  'post_content' => $STORY, //The full text of the post.
   			  'post_parent' =>  1426,  //Sets the parent of the new post.
   			  'post_status' => 'pending',  //Set the status of the new post.
   			  'post_title' =>  $TITLE,  //The title of your post.
   			  'post_type' => 'post',  //Sometimes you want to post a page.
   			  'comment_status' => 'closed', // 'closed' means no comments
   			  'post_category' =>  $STORY_CAT, //Add some categories..
   			  'post_name' => $SLUG
   
   			);  
   
   			$post_id = wp_insert_post($newPost);
   
   			add_post_meta($post_id, 'emailAddress', $EMAILADDRESS);
   			add_post_meta($post_id, 'displayName', $DISPLAYNAME);

   Thanks for all your help, I love being a part of this growing community, I am a designer trying to keep up, so please bear with me.
