 * The plugin Media Custom Fields has a couple of minor errors, the Author seems
   non contactable. (plugin website down, authors blog has no contact info, no contact
   info within plugin readme etc.)
 * Error 1: When I first installed the plugin and no custom fields had yet been 
   create a foreach error appeared.
 * Error 2: Once text has been entered into a custom field, it cannot be removed/
   left empty. When the image properties are saved the custom field contents simply
   reappear. (I have only checked this from Edit Post > Featured Image > Gallery(
   TAB).
 * Also there is very little guidance to usage in terms of printed material, whilst
   there is a video on vimeo nicely explaining how to use the plugin on an attachment/
   single pages, it did take me a little while to work out how to use the custom
   fields within the index/categories etc.
 * For reference to others here is the solution to grabbing custom fields for the
   post thumbnail (within the loop):
 *     ```
       $thumbnail_id = get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID );
       $tqmcf_disable = get_post_meta($thumbnail_id, 'tqmcf_custom-field-name', true);
       ```
