I'm trying to figure out some way that I can reference meta variables inside of a page. Specifically I'm trying to create an attribution box which lists all of the information I have about who wrote the page, where the original can be found etc. I can just pass the values to the template, but it would be really nice not have to put this information in for the meta plugin and my attribution box! + +The changes you suggest sound wonderful but are beyond my abilities right row.
