weBLOG! do YOU?

This plugin allows you to add a form to your website that allows non-registered users and/or subscribers (configurable) to submit posts. The posts are kept in "draft" until an admin can publish them (also configurable).

Version 0.9.4, to name a few, includes an image captcha widget, a theme widget to display the form in your sidebar, word and/or character limit in submissions and several fixes!

The plugin provides an extensive moderation view so administrators and editors can see posts awaiting approval and publish or delete them. Administrators can also ban specific users and IPs from using the form. Administrators can also "Trust" specific users. This means that when they use the form, their posts are automatically published. This does not give them any other rights or permissions using the Wordpress software, it only affects usage of the form. This applies to user and IP bans as well. There is even an option to automatically trust users after so many approved submissions. (It should be noted that submissions from users that can already publish using the normal Wordpress UI, will be automatically published.)

Administrators can configure the form using drag and drop "widgets". They are based on the same model as Wordpress’ built-in Theme widgets and it is possible to write your own. With 0.7, more options are available and it is now much easier to integrate with your theme. You don’t even need to modify your theme any more to display submitter information!

Registered users have access to a "Your Submissions" page which lists their current submissions awaiting approval and links to their approved submissions.
