Markus has some good tips but his blog was written for 7.0 - some things have changed in 7.1. Work through Tim Geyssens's blog posts http://www.nibble.be/?p=434 http://www.nibble.be/?p=440

One very important tip - remember to add the section to the users login account! You might have done everything right and missed adding your custom section to your user account!
