 * I am using a custom post type with custom fields. One custom field contains 10
   checkboxes with 10 values. I would like to display these checkboxes on the custom
   post query and allow the user to filter down the posts by checking the values.
 * What is the best method to accomplish this? The only way I can think of to filter
   a post by a single value is to switch to using categories. is it possible to 
   filter posts with a dropdown menu or an array of checkboxes with the values defined
   in the custom field?
