This may have been answered before, but I don't see it when I do a search. Are there any wildcards for users' names? I'd like to have my site say "Welcome back XXXX" when they login, preferably using a user's first name.

wildcards?
you can use ss templating functions like...
<% control CurrentMember %>{$FirstName}<% end_control %>
How do I embed that code in the welcome page? Do I simply insert that in the page editor or in the HTML?
You'd put that in the template....
