This new wordpress plugin allows you to post straight from your front-end (i.e. website) - perfect for a quick update! Also useful if you have multiple users and don’t need them to see the admin side of things. It creates a link on your website which, when clicked, will bring up a simple text-box. You can enter a post title, content, and add categories and tags, even upload an image.

On the admin side, there is a settings page where you can edit the plugin to your preferences. You can customize the link text, post-box background color, title/text color, and even add your own CSS to tailor pfs to your site.

As for permissions, you can limit the categories pfs can post to and allow/disallow uploading of images (among other things). If you'd rather have pfs's posts approved before they are visible, you can set the post status to ‘pending’ or ‘draft’. Same with the comment status, it can default to ‘open’ (allowing comments) or ‘closed’ (not allowing comments).
