I’ve opted to start making some silly cosmetic uses out of the custom fields functionality made available by WordPress, namely a little ‘current mood’ end-of-post blurb featuring a tiny little ‘me’ graphic. I used the following page as an example when it came to making the necessary theme tweaks and it makes for a fairly good introduction into the use of custom fields.
So far, these are the mood (or non-mood ‘status’) graphics I’ve had a chance to make:
-Tom
Run away!
Current mood: 
crazed.
