Question: Wordpress theme editable region help

Wordpress Theme help. I need to stick an editable region in the header of my theme so a user can edit a little blurb about themselves. How do I put a Text Widget or something similar up there?

I'm banging my head against a wall here. Ideally I'd want something that can be edited from the WP admin screen. Any help would be great. no worries about code fog. I'm pretty good with the stuff, I just can't find the answer on Google. so sad.

Read this: widgetizing themes.

You'll want to define the header (or part of it) as a second "sidebar." See the bottom of the linked page for instructions on how to have multiple sidebars in a theme.
