Anonymous post plugin for Wordpress

    I was looking for a plugin that would allow any visitor to my Wordpress blog to submit an article. The article would then be sent to the administration panel where I would approve the article.

    Something similar to:

    Does anyone know how to configure Wordpress to allow anonymous posts, or is there a plugin that accomplishes this task?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    It looks like they're using the basic WordPress comment form. You could do the same thing, just check the "An administrator must always approve the comment" under Options -> Discussion.

    That would make sense, but it almost seems too simple. Comments do not receive individual pages when they're submitted. If you visit the site again and look at the home page, you will notice that each post has it's own individual page.

    This is a simple contact form plugin.
    When the form is submitted, an administrator receives an e-mail with all the text, then creates (manually) a separate post and pastes the info.
    This is by far the simplest way.

    I guess that makes sense. I will most likely create a custom plugin that creates a post and, upon approval, can be posted to the main page.

    Thanks for all of you comments.
