 * Hi, I have a rather stupid question, but I really can’t get the custom_field 
   tutorial. I want to display a custom field as it is. Nothing more, nothing less.
   For example:
 * i’ve added to a post the following:
    key=test value=123
 * I want to display the value of “test” somewhere in my template with the link 
   of the post it is assigned to.
    Just text with a link. That’s it.
 * thanks in advance and sorry if i’m wasting your time with stupid questions.

 * `<?php echo get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'test', true); ?>`
