   You know when you login to the admin panel is says :
   Howdy, NAME [Sign Out, My Account]

   I wanted to put this on the homepage so that if a person is always signed in it will give them a welcome message when they visit the homepage. However, if nobody is signed in i dont want it to display anything. Just posting the code from admin-header.php gave me the segment, except the NAME wasn't showing up.

   Anyone know how to 1) make the name show up & 2) make it totally disappear if nobody is logged in?

   Thanks any help is greatly appreciated.

}
