 * It looks wrong. The “> doesn’t look good. It’s trying to open a div and then 
   put in an image with the source address pulled from the post_meta in the database.
   I suspect it should be:
 *     ```
       <div class="pic fl"><img src="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'thumbnail', true);?>" alt="Post Pic" width="594" height="236" />
       ```
