 * hello,
 * I have installed a fb-linkedin-resume plugin on site which pull users linkedin
   profile on site.
 * right now it allow admin to put URL from admin section, where admin only has 
   access and edit, but I need to allow user who want to register on site they submit
   their linkedin URL in the profile field and their linkedin profile info get pull
   on site.
 * But I am not able to call the function from fb-linkedin-resume file in author.
   php file where user enter his linkedin profile URL.
 * When I try defining the function in the author.php from the plugin file the site
   shows blank.
 * Can anybody tell me how can I just include the plugin location and add function
   to the the user linkedin input field in author.php.
 * tell me whether I need to include the plugin file location here, because I have
   already copied plugin files in theme folder.
 * please tell me correct way to do this
 * Thanks
