 * Hi everyone,
 * I just installed a new theme and it requires me to create a custom field to show
   thumbnails in my main page.
 * I went to my dashboard, where the section to create custom field should be (according
   with the instructions), but I don’t have it. Do I have to install anything or
   do something else in order to get the screen to create custom fields in my dashboard?
 * Regards!

 * Custom fields can be created when writing a post or page…
 * Edit an existing one if need be, it’s right below the content area.
