		/* CUSTOM ATTRIBUTE EXAMPLES:
		 * $example_value = $page->getAttribute('example_attribute_handle');
		 *
		 * HOW TO USE IMAGE ATTRIBUTES:
		 * 1) Uncomment the "$ih = Loader::helper('image');" line up top.
		 * 2) Put in some code here like the following 2 lines:
		 *      $img = $page->getAttribute('example_image_attribute_handle');
		 *      $thumb = $ih->getThumbnail($img, 64, 9999, false);
		 *    (Replace "64" with max width, "9999" with max height. The "9999" effectively means "no maximum size" for that particular dimension.)
		 *    (Change the last argument from false to true if you want thumbnails cropped.)
		 * 3) Output the image tag below like this:
		 *		<img src="<?php echo $thumb->src ?>" width="<?php echo $thumb->width ?>" height="<?php echo $thumb->height ?>" alt="" />
		 *
		 * ~OR~ IF YOU DO NOT WANT IMAGES TO BE RESIZED:
		 * 1) Put in some code here like the following 2 lines:
		 * 	    $img_src = $img->getRelativePath();
		 *      $img_width = $img->getAttribute('width');
		 *      $img_height = $img->getAttribute('height');
		 * 2) Output the image tag below like this:
		 * 	    <img src="<?php echo $img_src ?>" width="<?php echo $img_width ?>" height="<?php echo $img_height ?>" alt="" />
