    add a custom field to your post (custom fields is a dropdown when you are creating a post).

    insert a template tag in single.php to fetch the meta data (where custom fields are stored) and print it on your page.

    <?php the_meta(); ?>
    - will print all meta data in ul with each field being an li

    or

    get_post_meta($post_id, $key, $single);
    - gives access to fields individually
    - $post_id is the ID of the post you want the meta values for. Use $post->ID to get a post's ID.
    - $key is a string containing the name of the meta value you want.
    - $single can either be true or false. If set to true then the function will return a single result, as a string. If false, or not set, then the function returns an array of the custom fields.
