 * I am creating a wordpress site for my university’s club. However, instead of 
   me just posting blogs I want everyone to be able to post and comment. For example,
   look at this site, [http://www.secrettalk.com/](http://www.secrettalk.com/) you
   see the format? People can post stuff on the front page, and other people can
   read and comment. Does this exist for wordpress?

 * Without plugins WordPress can do that. Just add users as Authors and let them
   post and comment away.
 * Try it. Use the WordPress Default Theme, turn commenting on, and post away.

 * thank you for the response. Last question. Do I have to approve users in order
   to make them authors? What I want to do is, allow any user to come to my page
   without registering, to be able to make a post or comment. like secrettalk.com
 * thank you in advance Michael.

 * Very good thank you. Is there a way to have the quick publish option on the front
   page?
 * That way people who are new to wordpress dont have to click their username to
   make a post, they can simply make a post at the front page.

 * You’ll want to look at something like the the TDO Mini-Form plugin for that.

 * Michael I love you with all your help. Another simple question, how do I turn
   off the <Required> fields when people want to publish or post on my site? I don’t
   want them to be required to write down their email and website.. just their name.
   Thank you

 * If you’re talking about tdo-mini-forms… you need to go into Form Widgets and 
   then click on the “Who Am I” configuration icon. From there you can set if name,
   web or email is required or visible.

 * thedeadone, can you please give me some support? Is there a way I can remove 
   the requirements thru the hack form manually?

 * Em… For a start, you’re default user must be corrected. You can’t use a user 
   for the dummy user who can publish posts. It breaks moderation.
 * Second, no you can’t do it via the Form Hacker. The Form Hacker allows you to
   modify the form output code, but once you use it, it freezes code and you must
   manually update it if you make any changes to configuration or widgets. The feature
   is incredible powerful but you have to use it carefully.
 * My advice is to reset the form hacker, go into the widgets and configure the 
   Who Am I widget to disable the required fields. If you don’t how to “configure
   the widgets”, there is a little icon on the widget and if you double click it,
   it’ll bring up a configuration panel for that widget.
