 * I have a plugin that generates a custom field for every post, with the value 
   of a certain url. Know i want to fetch this url and use it as a link elsewhere.
   I’ve been searching on the forum for the answer, but only came up with part of
   the solution.
 * The name of the custom field is: rssmi_source_link
    The value is a url in this
   form: [http://www.something.com](http://www.something.com)
 * This is the code i figured out so far, but it only direct me to my frontpage 
   when i apply it ?
 * `<a href="<?php $field_name="rssmi_source_link"; $field_value = get_post_meta(
   $post->ID, $field_name, true) ?>"`
 * Hope you guys can help me
