    You don't need a plug in for that... just create usernames for them.... Make sure they're "contributors" or "editors" and not "subscribers"...

      Is there away to do it without having username? So that a guess could post there 1st time on the site.

        I'm sure there is, but I never looked it up. I simply set it to where anyone can subscribe and they are automatically given the "Contributor" status. They can post automatically...

        But I'm pretty sure there are plugins too...

        WP plug ins and WP themes are pretty huge right now... They sell like crazy...

        It's good to condition the market so that people rely on them, I suppose...

    I don't see the point in using a plugin for something WordPress does out of the box? Just give them the link to register to the site, set it so that people become an author when signing up (if you want to check quality of the article before it goes live, you can make them contributers so their articles are saved as draft and you need to approve and publish them).

    The more plugins you have, the more your site slows down. Why risk it?

      I agree with Leslie. Let people register in your site as an author. This is one easiest way to accept guest posting.
