 * I want my blog to allow other people to post stories, in the same manner that
   I can as an administrator. Is this possible?

 * Go to Users tab. Click the checkbox beside the user(s) for which you want to 
   change roles. Click the [Change role to …] drop down. Pick the role you want 
   for user(s). Click the [Change] button.
 * Edit: Be VERY wary of giving anyone other than yourself the Administrator role.

 * OK, this is a help. But how about people who come to my site for the first time
   and want to post something?

 * I may be mistaken, I never made that, but that makes sense for me :
 * Give them the wp-login adress (must be yourblog.com/wp-login), there is a “create
   account” link.
 * In your admin options, allow users to create an account, and set the default 
   user role to a role that allows the creation and publication of a blog note.
 * And there you are 🙂

 * No sane blog owner wants to allow that…
    Eventually, you can let people you know
   to write a draft for approval by an admin or an editor – but completely leaving
   open a blog for anybody to **publish**, that’s not a good idea.
 * It is even better if you try to use this plugin: no need to register or login,
   just a form for submitting a post/article.
