This is a solution that borrowed from your checkboxes and adapted them to radio buttons

Figured it out – a css issue. I removed ‘class=”twitter clear”‘ and works great!

I followed Justin’s instructions exactly and get some author info displayed with posts, including author’s username, avatar, and biographical information, but no Twitter username. Any suggestions?

yes it works like a charme, but there are some deprecated functions this days

No need to c&p each field:

$v)update_usermeta( $user_id, $k, $v );

using this code (and creating the respective files) you can fully customize CSS and jQuery of the Profile page:

add_action( 'admin_print_scripts-profile.php', 'custom_profile_style', 0 );
add_action( 'admin_print_scripts-user-edit.php', 'custom_profile_style' );
function custom_profile_style() {
	wp_register_style( 'custom_profile', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/css/profile.css' );
	wp_enqueue_style( 'custom_profile' );
	wp_register_script( 'custom_profile_js', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/profile.js' );
	wp_enqueue_script( 'custom_profile_js' );
}

I did exactly as Justin Tadlock told me to do in his tutorial. The field can be displayed. But it can't be saved. Why? The code I put in the file functions.php is as follow:

add_action( 'show_user_profile', 'my_show_extra_profile_fields' );
add_action( 'edit_user_profile', 'my_show_extra_profile_fields' );
add_action( 'personal_options_update', 'my_save_extra_profile_fields' );
add_action( 'edit_user_profile_update', 'my_save_extra_profile_fields' );

function my_save_extra_profile_fields( $user_id ) {

if ( !current_user_can( 'edit_user', $user_id ) )
return false;

/* Copy and paste this line for additional fields. Make sure to change 'twitter' to the field ID. */
update_usermeta( $user_id, 'usermemo', $_POST['usermemo'] );
}

function my_show_extra_profile_fields( $user ) { ?>

Extra profile information

usermemo; // textarea_escaped ?>

This is exactly what I'm looking for, thanks!  I have modified it slightly so that the input field is a custom textarea field instead.  It works, given that the data that I save in the user profile shows up on my website. However, once the data is saved in the user profile, what has been entered is no longer visible in the textarea box itself in the WP user profile page.  

Here is my code, any help truly appreciated, thanks!

/* EXTRA USER FIELDS FUNCTIONS -BEGIN */
/* Adding custom user field */
add_action( 'show_user_profile', 'my_show_extra_profile_fields' );
add_action( 'edit_user_profile', 'my_show_extra_profile_fields' );
function my_show_extra_profile_fields( $user ) { ?>
	Extra profile information
