Moderated Front Page

  • Is there a way to allow authors to post things unmoderated, and yet keep the main body of the homepage moderated?

    In other words, I’m looking to allow users to post as authors, with their blogs coming up when people click on their names from the authors part of the page on the sidebar.

    Yet I want to be able to select a few posts from each authors page and only allow those posts to come through to the front page. Is there a way to do this?

    Does anyone know of a plugin that can do this?

    Only with a custom Loop in the homepage, preferably using a home.php template.

    Thanks so much!! It really worked well… Now I’m trying to add a border of some type to differentiate between one list of posts on the front page, and another… Is there some sort of editing program that can allow me to graphically enhance this database?

    I am not sure I understand this request. The DB is what it is: raw data. How the data is displayed on your site depends on your template file and stylesheet.
    Just make sure you apply some kind of div class around your list of posts and define that div in the style.css.

    Specifically I’m looking to only show the authors full name, and the date, as well as a category icon, for each post that comes to the main page. Would I edit this in the style.css or in the template index?

    Also, I’m interested in adding borders between each post on the main page.

    Finally, I need to change the banner into another graphic that I have created to fit the Kubrich (or default) proportions… Is this something I can do through replacing the graphic it references in the actual database? Or would I be better off looking for a different theme altogether?

    I figured out the borders issue, thanks for your help, Moshu.

    My only thing left to work out now is how to make it so that no content of the posts reaches the main page (only date, title, author, and category), yet allow readers to see the content once they click on the title (which is a permalink).

    Most tags I find seem to make it so that it gets rid of the content, but for all pages… Not just the main one. Any ideas on a group of tags that could make this exception?
