Thanks Jennifer,
I've been to these pages already -
I seem to get just text returned back stating "Array" when using:
<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'time', $single = false); ?>
If I change to --
<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'time', $single = true); ?>
It "works" but then I only get the data from the first post delivered
to the page.
I've even tried variants of...
<?php $key="time"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $time, $single = true); ?>
to no avail.
The next step of getting this returned into a select menu also fails.
