Guest posting on WordPress.com

Hi there, I’m hoping you can help me figure out how to allow guest posts on my blog but require that they be approved by me before going up. Is this possible? Thanks FB

Although there is no really official way to do this, I use a little workaround that nearly gets me there.

You can define the email address for feedback forms ( http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/#notification-preferences ). If you set this address to your post-by-email address for the blog ( http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-email/ ) and make sure that the user for who you enable it has only Author permissions on your blog you end up with a draft post for every feedback submitted on your blog.

I know Devon Jensen is creating a toolbar or something to help with this.. From mozzila . I will search for the link and post you ASAP

Ouch, we don’t have this here!

It seems that we do not have anything about this topic here, but you might want to do one of the following. If you were searching for a php function head over to the php manual and use one of their entry points

If you were searching for a WordPress related topic and did not find it here try one of the following options.

Use the search form in the navigation bar above
Use the WordPress search

If nothing like this helps try using Google or an other search engine

Bing
