Typically you would allow the users to register, then they login and write a post (or submit a post for review). You would need to determine what Role you wanted those users to have to submit a post.
Another avenue would be more complex but look at:

Hi thanks,
That’s helpful and led me down a track of lots of reading. Finally realized that what puzzled me is something I don’t think I can do. I wanted to have one page that would have postings on an advice column style – while keeping the main page as just postings from me. I can’t do that, right?

Maybe you could do something like:
- Post type 1: the posting of the visitor
- Post type 2: your answer
- Post type 1: in category “advice column 1”
- Post type 2: in category “advice column 1” and “answer advice column 1”
- Post type 1: add a tag/ meta key unique value to the post
- Post type 2: add a tag/ meta key unique value to the post
For post type 1 and 2 design template models that you can load in your single and category templates.
Then use a category template:
- category template 1: show “post type 1” and “post type 2” group by “unique value” (order by as wished for by date or title for example).
- category template 2: show “post type 2” (order by as wished for by date or title for example).
Single template:
Show “post type 1” and “post type 2” using queries one below the other and have the “unique value”.
Dynamically this is possible, not sure how to do it in WordPress though. Never tried it.
