 * hello, i want to add a hidden field to every new post i make. this is because:
   
   when someone clicks the link of the post i want to use the “comments” page to
   load thumbnails. i already put away all the comments stuff but now i need a hidden
   field to tell the script which thumbnails to load (since every post will generate
   different thumbnails) so i thought the built in “custom fields” would do the 
   trick, but they are not submitted to the html output. they are in the sql but
   not in my html. so, what are the custom fields about when they dont generate 
   any output?

 * I think the “[get custom fields](http://www.coffee2code.com/archives/2004/06/30/plugin-get-custom/)”
   plugin would do the trick.
