    This wordpress.org blog does exactly what I am looking for: It shows a profile page of the user and gives possibility to edit the information without going to the backend. How is it done? Is there a plugin for it? Or can it be done with onboard instruments of WP?
    Thank you!

    This wordpress.org blog is simply not a blog, but a forum… 🙂

    When a user on your blog is logged in, he can go in wp-admin and, in the top-right corner there is a link to his profile, wich is pretty much the same than here in this forum…

    Alternatively, you can add a link to your sidebar, or wherever you want, directly to the profile panel :

    http://www.your_worpress_url/wp-admin/profile.php

    A fancy way to do so is to add a condition in your sidebar, so if the user will see it only if he’s logged in :

    <?php
global $user_login;
if( $user_login ) :
?>

<a href="http://www.your_worpress_url/wp-admin/profile.php">my profile</a>

<?php endif; ?>
