I was wondering the way to allow users write their own posts so we can convert a blog into a collaboration site where users can submit their own content.
For example, imagine you are building a new website and you don’t want to be the main author, however you want other authors to submit Tutorials, Articles, ideas, brainstorming, news, etc.
Finally, I found TDO Mini Forms plugin that solves the previous concern.
TDO Mini Forms is a plugin that allows to add custom forms into your blog so users can submit their content.
It is also very useful if you want to setup your blog for strange purposes, such as creating a basic CRM, an address book, or creating a business directory using WordPress.
