User Submitted Posts

'User Submitted Posts' can be used on community blogs where users submit new posts and an admin publishes them online after moderating and/or spell-checking them.

Can also be configured to automatically publish user submitted posts, but that would not be a recommended setting if the user registration process is not thoroughly moderated.

Installation:

Unpack and upload it to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.

Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
