Magento add extra fields to /customer/account/create/ page - magento

I'm making great progress learning magento. My questions is, how do I add extra fields to the /customer/account/create/ page? The fields I want to add are below. Can the fields I add also appear under:
1) Frontend: Customer is able to edit/change the added fields answers in their accounts area
2) Backend: Administrator is able to see and manage the added fields under customers/manage customers/ selected customer/ customer information.
Any help or pointers is immensely appreciated.

Here is a good but old tutorial how to add custom fields in registration page
http://www.fontis.com.au/blog/magento/custom-customer-signup-attributes
It was done for Magento 1.3 so you need to read comments below the article to make it works on Magento 1.7 or check out this answer on SO Can no longer add registration fields in Magento 1.4.2.0
Also there are few extensions on Magento connect for that purpose.

Thanks for all your input. I came across this extension and it worked REALLY GREAT for me!

Magento : Allow the customer to add a comment when adding a product to cart

I'm working on a Magento shop and I want to give the customers the possibility to add a comment when they put a product in cart.
The comment can contain specifications about the ordrered product. It must be visible in the checkout, in the confirmation email and in the admin sales interface.
Is there a way to do that with the standard Magento configuration? Or does a module exist?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Have a look at this extension, See the screenshots.

This may helpful for you, I have used this in a project, it works well.
But as you saying customer should add comment while adding product, you need to customize this extenion a bit.
Cheers :-)

Joomla extension for people posts with categories

Are there any type of extensions that let people post what they want with categories. So they need to sign-up and sign-in, and then create a new post, then select the relative category that the post will be shown in to other people.
I may need to show posts by geo-localisation restriction, for example, posts appears in just US or UK.
I'm a PHP developer. I can achieve this system, but I wondered if it does already exist some CMS like Joomla doing what I need, to save time. I may also be able to develop such Joomla modules if it's allowed. Please need a push around these requirements since I don't have too much experience with Joomla.
I would recommend you use the article section of joomla which is a built in one. I think the things available in joomla package will suit your category, post and signin and signup requirements.
For geo-localisation restrictions I think your php knowledge is more than enough to change or modify few parts of the code in the joomla. I think this way will help you save some time. I have done these before.They have worked fine for me. Hope this helps you.

German Magento Webshop Setup

Is anyone worked on such templating. My client does not wants Region/States on the customer address section any where on the shop but magento is having region is required in many forms. Is there any way to disable it or should i work with each form.
Please some one help me to solve this
If you look at the forms there is no 'if' around the region/state entries whereas there is for things like 'salutation'. For this reason you may want to edit each form.

Creating a configurable Magento attribute from scratch

I need to extend Magento to allow changing the price of a product based on an attribute, such as size or color. I can't use any in-built facilities Magento might have for this - I need to write the code myself. I'm a beginning Magento developer. Can anybody help? Maybe point me to a guide or walk-through for this on the internet? Thanks!
You may wish to read some of the basic guides on Magento to answer a question like this. This is entirely the point of configurable products and of custom product options.
Hope that helps
Thanks,
Joe
