 * Hello,
 * I working with a wordpress theme that allow for a scroll banner. In order to 
   have images appear in the scroll banner, I need to select custom field values,
   when I am creating a new post.
 * However, I do not have access to the custom field values (add new custom field,
   select custom field, value) and I cannot figure out how to setup wordpress in
   the back-end to allow for custom fields.
 * This is my first go-around and I haven’t found any helpful tutorials on this 
   subject. Any pointers and a basic walk-through-this-process is highly appreciated.

 * Howdy,
 * Are you logging in to your site as an Administrator?
 * At the top of your dashboard, you can also click “Screen Options” to then hide/
   show various panels in your write / edit screens.
    Is it possible that custom
   fields are hidden, and you just need to select it there?
 * Let me know,
    Paul
