 * Hello.
 * I like the plugin – its simple and works.
    The only thing what I miss is the 
   control of the default user level. Per default “none” is selected when creating
   a new post. Can I change the default selection (e.g. to “author”).
 * Best regards,
    Michael

 * You could if you modified the plugin code a little. Are you comfortable doing
   that?

 * Yes, no problem.
    I already looked a little bit at the code but I didnt found
   the right line.

 * Yo want the includes/metabox.php file. Look for the array that sets up the userlevels
   and change it so that author is the first item in the array.
