Create new user from my Join page

I got this working. It was a major pain.

// your blog is located

	$user_login = $username;
	$user_login = sanitize_user( $user_login );

	}
}

do_action_ref_array('wp_authenticate', array(&$user_login, &$user_pass));

if ( $user_login && $user_pass && empty( $errors ) ) {
	$user = new WP_User(0, $user_login);

// If the user can't edit posts,
// send them to their profile.

if ( !$user->has_cap('edit_posts') && ( empty( $redirect_to ) || $redirect_to == 'wp-admin/' ) )

		} else {

		}
	}
}

// Create WordPress user
wp_create_user($username, $password, $email );		

// Login to WordPress
my_wp_login($username,$password);
