 * Does anyone know what action hook you would use in order to hook into when a 
   user registers a new account? Basically when someone hits register, I want my
   function to run and add some meta data to the usermeta table.

 * Ok I resolved that bit, now I just need to figure out how to get the new user’s
   ID. Anyone know how to get the new user ID number?

 * Johnny, why dont you post the answers/solutions? Forums are great because sometimes
   you have the same problem other had before.
 * In this case, now I know that you solved it, but it’s useless for me.
 * Thanks.
