 * I would like to create additional fields users can fill in under wp-admin/profile.
   php and that I would be able to call to say display in author.php. i.e. twitter,
   flickr, etc account names. Anyone done this or have an idea how it could be done?
 * Thanks,

 * I want to do this too! HTML is not allowed in the Description field of the Profile.
   Does anyone know of another way? I want my authors to be able to list a few of
   their favorite songs.

 * I found a plugin called Rich Text Biography which works well. It makes the Description
   area of the Profile a Rich Text field. [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rich-text-biography/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rich-text-biography/)
