Hi there.
I'm Andy Wibbels. I am working on a blog redesign so things might be a little clunky for a few days. You can learn more about my book, Blogwild, at http://GOblogwild.com/. Right now I'm working in San Francisco at Six Apart where I'm the product manager for Blogs.com. You can add my blog to your Google, Yahoo, Bloglines or other homepage. You can also follow me on Twitter, Facebook and Friendfeed.
I sometimes blog about Trent Reznor (parts 1 and 2), cubicle slang, D&D, furries and fanfic, Fosse, freakfilters, indigo children, The Secret movie, sexy deliverymen and dungeon furniture. Here's my most popular post.
Add Extra Fields to WordPress Author User Profiles
I wanted to add fields to the author profiles in WordPress so users can input their city, state/province and country. So glad to find these plugins: Usermeta and Userextra.
Drop them into plugins and activate
Go to Options > Userextra and add your extra fields.
Now users will see an extra option under My Account called Extended Profile.
You can then grab this data as metadata with specific tags.

The plugins are no longer accessable for download. Could you please send these 2 plugins to me?
I'd also like to get my hands on these plugins. Could you e-mail them to me?

I'd also like to get on that list :) Anyway you could send them to me as well. Thanks in advance.
Hi Andy
Not sure if you will be able to help but maybe you know somewhere else I could try.
I have installed the usermeta and userextra plugins on my blog but not sure what to do next.
They are activated and I have an extended profile section within my wordpress dashboard area.
The things I would like info on if possible are:-
Where and how do I add new fields?
How do members access these fields? through the extended profile section?
I have tried everywhere to try and get information on how this can be done but no luck so far.
Any help much appreciated
Kev
