 * How do I go about adding a few more profile fields into my wordpress. I edited
   profile.php, and so the new boxes show up, but when I edit any of the information,
   then hit save, it isn’t saved. Is this a mysql issue? If so how do I fix it? 
   Any help would be really cool.

 * It’s kind of a MySql issue. You’d have to write/save that data somewhere, likely
   the ‘usermeta’ table.
