    Hi Michael,

    Just wanted to let you know this is what ended up working for me:

    <?php
	$custom_post_type = 'chamber-news';
	$args=array(
	  'post_type' => $custom_post_type,
	  'post_status' => 'publish',
	  'posts_per_page' => 5,
	  'caller_get_posts'=> 1
	);
	$my_query = null;
	$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
	if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
	  // echo 'List of Chamber News';
	  while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
	    <ul class="chamber-news-preview">
	    	<li class="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'chamber-news-icon', true); ?>">

		    	<?php the_content(); ?>
		    </li>
		</ul>
	    <?php
	  endwhile;
	}
	wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>

    Thanks for your help!

    thanks Michael – I gave that a shot but to no avail… On the custom post itself in the custom fields i added a name of “chamber-news-icon” and a value of “community”. In the page template itself i added that to the < li > here:

    <?php
	$custom_post_type = 'chamber-news';
	$args=array(
	  'post_type' => $custom_post_type,
	  'post_status' => 'publish',
	  'posts_per_page' => 5,
	  'caller_get_posts'=> 1
	);
	$my_query = null;
	$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
	if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
	  // echo 'List of Chamber News';
	  while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
	    <ul class="chamber-news-preview">
	    	<li class="<?php get_post_meta($postid, 'chamber-news-icon', true); ?>">
		    	<?php the_content(); ?>

	    <?php
	  endwhile;
	}
	wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>

    unfortuantely, the result just returns:

    <li class="">

    any further insight would be GREATLY appreciated. thank you SO much!!
