Update: tried the following:
<label><?php _e('Functions:') ?>
<input type="text" name="func" id="func" value="<?php echo $profileuser->user_func ?>" /></label>
(in wp-admin/profile.php)
I guess the new value of User Function will be saved as user_func, right? The Profile area shows the new textbox nicely, but when I hit “Update”, the textbox goes blank so I guess my newly defined value is not being saved.
1. What do I have to do to make the system save the new function as user_func?
2. What code do I have to implement in the sidebar to include the User’s Function (aka user_func)?
Please help!! Thanks
Here’s a little plugin I wrote for my own purpose. It saves the flickr profile url in user option. You may clean it and use it for what you want to do.

Thank you for your help, but; considering I’m a real php newbie, you need to tell me how to use it for my purpose before it’s of any use to me 😛
Did you understand what results I want to have? If yes, could you please alter the code and post it and tell me where I have to put those files in or if I have to activate any plugins etc?
Thank you VERY much! 🙂
