 * How do I use custom fields currectly?
 * I’m using this now:
 *     ```
       <?php $flickr = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'flickr', true); ?>
       <?php $exif = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'exif', true); ?>
       <a href="<?php echo $flickr; ?>">View Flickr Page</a> | <a href="<?php echo $exif; ?>">View EXIF Data</a><br />
       ```
   
 * How can I get the two links to only show if the custom field is filled in?

 * This will only show each one that is filled in. It will show the separator only
   if both are there. I didn’t test this actual code but this is how I do stuff 
   like this.
 *     ```
       <?php $flickr = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'flickr', true); ?>
       <?php $exif = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'exif', true); ?>
   
       <?php if($flickr !=""){?>
       <a href="<?php echo $flickr; ?>">View Flickr Page</a>
       <?php } ?>
       <?php if($flickr !="" && $exif !=""){?>|<?php } ?>
       <?php if($exif !=""){?>
       <a href="<?php echo $exif; ?>">View EXIF Data</a>
       <?php } ?>
       <br />
       ```
