 * Hi,
 * Right now I have certain links in my sidebar appear based on what page you are
   looking at. What I would prefer is having those links appear based on which user
   is logged in. Such as:
 * If logged in user = Amanda show these links or if logged in user = user level
   2 show these links
 * Is there a way to do this? Would using the conditional tags below be the same?
 * is_author(‘2’)
 * is_author(‘Amanda’)
 * I’d be more interested in showing links based on user name or user level since
   I don’t promote people to actual author roles. Isn’t there an is_user() type 
   of conditional tag? I didn’t see it listed on the “conditional tags” page of 
   Codex.
 * Thanks

 * The function [get_currentuserinfo()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_currentuserinfo)
   might work for you.

 * Thanks Michael, I’ll check it out later; something just came up and I have to
   leave now.
