 * hi. i’m new to wordpress development – and loving it!
 * what i have is a site that is a pages/cms type site, ie no blog. i have a 2 column
   layout – text on the left, and image on the right.
    currently i am using categories
   and the query_posts tag to place the images in the right hand side on each page.
   the problem with this is i have to have a category for each pages right hand 
   side column.
 * what i would like to do is be able to use a variable(?) which will place the 
   image (from the post) in the image column for each page automatically, without
   having to have all the categories.
 * is this possible? thx for any help in advance!
 * AG

 * i need to be able to have multiple images, running vertically down the column.
   is this possible with custom fields?

 * You can create custom fields with the same key and multiple values if needed.
