 * I do have one question for this great tool I have just installed when using the
   Dropdown Fields option.
 * I have created a new ‘Custom Field’ (Radio option) called ‘Sectors’
 * My custom entries are currently tagged to sectors, eg
 * Post A = sector 1
    Post B = sector 2
 * However both the dropdown and radio options only allow a single selection – is
   their a way of adding multiple selections so I can assign more than one ‘Sector’?
   so for example
 * Post B = sector 1, 2

 * PLUS: Other question I suppose is how do I get the current taxonomy ‘Categories’
   to show as I could just utilise that to group my new custom entries.

 * By definition, radio fields and dropdown fields allow for the selection of a 
   single item. If you need to select multiple items, you need a multiselect field.
   The UI for those can be a multi-select dropdown or a series of checkboxes. You
   can either define a new multiselect field or change your field to a multiselect
   field.
 * Getting taxonomies is a trickier topic: you could use a MySQL query to retrieve
   a list of taxonomies, but if you’re doing that, it’s probably a good idea to 
   just use the built-in taxonomy functionality.

 * Now how daft do I feel – I never even noticed that option further down 😉
 * Sorry for that and thanks for a prompt response, the plugin is a godsend!
 * I converted them over no problem, so the taxonomy isn’t an issue.
