 * Is there a way for the admin to approve posts before they are published?

 * I think that if you set all users to contributer role they can write posts but
   not publish them. That means that an admin would have to publish the posts they
   have written.

 * Well that works for me. I have just created a test user and assigned then to 
   the role of contributer. I then logged in as the test user and then clicked on
   write post. I wrote a test post and then where you would normally click publish,
   the button says submit for review. I clicked this and then logged out and then
   logged back in as admin
 * In the list of posts their was a pending review post that i could open and then
   click publish. So that worked a treat for me.
 * P.S. is there are need for that language?

 * It should work. Create a new user, role = contributor, and login as the new user…
   then try to publish 🙂
