   I basically just need to know how to check to see if a logged in user has a first name entered or not, and if they do echo "show" which is associated with a display: inline class and if it's not present just don't print anything or print hide which is associated with a style of display: hide ... so I can show or hide name depending on whether it is present or not.

   Nevermind. I was being dumb. Here is what I did to solve this:

   Welcome<span class="hide<?php global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo(); if ($current_user->user_firstname == true) { echo show; } ?>">&nbsp;<? echo "$current_user->user_firstname" ?></span>!

   Works well if you have hide as a style that hides and hideshow a style that shows.

   Just missed it...
   

   <?php
   if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
   echo 'Welcome, registered user!';
   if ( $userdata->first_name ) {
   echo ' You have a first name of '. $userdata->first_name;
   } else {
   echo ' Please, visit your profile page and enter a First Name.';
   }
   } else {
   echo 'Welcome, visitor!';
   };
   ?>
