 * I’ve been having hell trying to figure this out. I’m trying to code it so that
   when no Custom Field is used, nothing related to Custom Field appears.
 * This is what I’m using to no avail:
 * `<?php if (function_exists('get_post_meta')) echo "<p><img src=\""; bloginfo('
   stylesheet_directory'); echo "/img/video_icon.gif\" alt=\"Video\" /> <a href=\"";
   echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "Video", true); echo "\" title=\""; echo get_post_meta(
   $post->ID, "Video", true); echo "\">Watch The Video</a></p>"; ?>`

 * look for the $value of the custom field instead…
 * so if you instead of: if (function_exists(‘get_post_meta)
    use: if ($value)
 * this will also help avoid problems if the users selects a custom field but doesn’t
   enter a value.
