 * Hi fergbrain! Great plugin btw, well, once I can work out how to implement it
   within my needs 🙂
 * Firstly, it would work fine with this date format, yes?
    2012-07-28 00:00:00
 * I am trying to figure out a way to set the date, in the format above, from a 
   custom field.
 * I’ve been trying to read other support questions in an effort not to ask again…
   any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂

 * Would it be possible to set that date of it was in a custom field for each post?
   And if the field was empty, then display nothing?

   not what the code is 🙁

 * I haven’t tried because I don’t know php but I did see somewhere that I would
   be able to use php and hooks to insert it into my posts – I have this template
   system that won’t let me use shortcodes.

 * Unfortunately, I don’t have time to write custom code for free. If you’re interested
   in hiring me, I’d be happy to give you a quote.
