   Is there any code to write username outside the loop? If the user is logged in of course :)

   For example if the user is registered with username "myname", when he logs in automaticaly write "hello myname". How can I do it?

   Something like this should work - THIS IS UNTESTED! - There may be simpler ways, natch.

   <?php  if (is_user_logged_in()){
              global $current_user;
              get_currentuserinfo();
              echo('Hello, ' . $current_user->user_login . "!\n");
            }
            else {
              echo "Welcome, visitor!";
              };
   ?>

   Well it works fine! Thank you for help very much!

   And how to make the username linked to it's profile page? (not on dashboard main page)

   Hmm. I think it'd be this.

   echo('Hello, <a href="http://www.domain.com/author/' . $current_user->user_login . '">' . $current_user->user_login . !</a>\n');

   My only worry is I may be having a stupid moment between " and ' in the echo statement :/

   Something is wrong in this code :(

   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<'

   Well I corrected the code, it would be

   echo('Hello, <a href="wp-admin/profile.php">' . $current_user->user_login . !'</a>\n');
            }

   OH! You meant a link to edit the profile! Heh, I was thinking a link to view it. Glad it worked for you! Happy happy.

   Is it possible that only view the profile without the ability to edit it? I have never heard anything about it. What does the page look like?

   That's the URL I gave you before.

   http://www.domain.com/author/<name&gt;

   You may want to change <a href="wp-admin/profile.php"> to <a href="/wp-admin/profile.php"> by the way, or /blog/, depending on how you set up your blog, so that it will work from every page.

   And I see where I got the code wrong and why you had the unexpected <

   echo('Hello, <a href="/wp-admin/profile.php">' . $current_user->user_login . '!</a>\n')

   Put the ` on the left of the !, basically. I left it off my first example!
