 * Great theme so far …
 * I want to use a custom post template including some custom fields and static 
   information.
 * Copied single.php to my child theme directory and renamed it to new_postname.
   php just fot testing purposes.
 * Inserted
    <?php /* Single Post Template:new_postname */ ?> at the top of te file.
 * I took care to leave
    <?php /** * [@package](https://wordpress.org/support/users/package/)
   Make */ in place.
 * Any ideas how to display and use this custom post template.
 * Cheers,
    KeesD
