Custom field doesn't display

I have installed Textpattern 4.03. Hosting is through GoDaddy.

I created three custom fields: Event_time, Event_cost, Event_teacher

I am using them in a form called special_event:
<code>
<h2><txp:posted format=”%A, %b %d” /></h2>
<h3><txp:custom_field name=“Event_time”> &bull; <txp:custom_field name=“Event_cost” /></h3>
<h3><txp:title /></h3>
<h3><txp:custom_field name=“Event_teacher” /></h3>
<txp:body />
</code>

My problem is that the custom field Event_time is not displaying on my page:

http://www.harmonyyogaportland.com/

Look in the “Special Events” sidebar on the right. I faked the time by putting the text “2-5pm – $50” into the custom field Event_cost. If Event_time displayed, that line would now look like

2-5pm &bull; 2-5pm – $50

When I first created the form the value of Event_time displayed. Then I moved fields around and played with my style sheet to get it to look how I wanted. At some point the value of Event_time disappeared. I think it was when I put Event_time and Event_cost together within <h3> and put &bull; between them.

I have tried removing the &bull;, putting the custom fields in their own <h3> s, but nothing seems to work. I definitely have a value in the field for this article. I can’t see any misspellings. I checked the capitalization of the custom field names.

Any help is gratefully appreciated.

<txp:custom_field name="Event_time" /> You forgot to close the tag.
