  How can i get a link in a text widget? And how do I make a profile-page for the registered users of my blog, and myself?(I mean, I filled out the biography when editing my profile, but where does it show?) I want the names of the members in the text widget to have a link to their individual profile page!

  Help!

  It’s regular HTML for the text widget.

  <a href='URL'>Text</a>

  The biography output is theme specific. When you write a Page at Dashboard -> Write -> Page, look for the Page Templates tab along the right hand side to see if there’s one included for that theme.

  If there isn’t, you can create a Profile Page manually.

  Hope this helps,

  But how do I create a (reasonably good looking) profile page manually?

  there’s always this one:

  otherwise, you can just write a page, just like you would any blog post.

  WHOA! When did we get those and where did they come from? First I’ve seen of those.
