 * I will be using a custom field to store a <b>string</b> containing
    html image
   tags will addresses, for example:
 * “<img src=”love” /><img src=”me” /><img src=”now” />
 * it is acceptable to use a php explode operation in single.php?
    in other words,
   perform an operation to divide the string into different peices?
 * The main question I’m asking here is, is it too much load on the server?
 * Thanks heaps.

 * Err… sure. You can use explode all you want. You can use any PHP you want. There’s
   no limitation like that.
