Hi,
When you create the profile assign request.user to the user, so:
profile_obj = UserProfile(user = request.user)
Also in the UserProfile model make sure that the entries that are
allowed to be blank are set up to allow that, eg:
address = models.CharField(max_length=60, blank = True)
birthday = models.DateField(blank = True, null = True)
Hope that helps
