 * I would like to be able to attach locations to posts (i.e. Europe, New York) 
   and have all the locations listed in the sidebar. I suspect this could be done
   via custom fields and a widget, but am not sure how to go about it. Any help 
   would be greatly appreciated.

 * The easiest way without programming would be for you to make your location a 
   category or tag. Then just show those categories or tags in a sidebar widget.

 * If possible, I would like to have the location separate from the tags and categories,
   which are being used for other purposes. Therefore, I am trying to work out how
   to have location as a custom field, and have that custom field display in each
   post, and have the list of the various locations in the sidebar. Thanks.

 * If you don’t want to use the categories/tags, then sure, you can use custom fields.
