 * Hi,
 * I’ve got a template where I need to grab the values of several different custom
   fields associated with a post.
 * I can do this fine using the `get_post_meta` function – ie:
 *     ```
       <?php $profile_pic = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'profileimage', true);
       if($profile_pic) : ?>
       <img src="<?php echo $profile_pic; ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" />
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * But as there are up to 3 more custom post values to get I figure it’s much more
   efficient to grab them via the `get_post_custom` function. I can’t find in either
   the documentation or via any amount of searching on Google an explanation of 
   how to retrieve the different values of the different keys using this function.
 * Can some kind soul enlighten me?!!
