    hello i’m looking for a way to simplify the page that “authors” use to post. Basically I want people to be able to post, but the default wordpress page is 1) ugly and 2) gives too much information about the site.

    i have installed TDO mini forms and I use it, but i want users to have to register/login to be able to post pictures. (currently TDO is set to text only and users must register and become “author” to post images)

    is there any way to have the “author” post page a simple Title/Body/Tag/Upload Image setup? without all of the other crap showing everywhere like my plugins and options.

    also +1 if that page can follow my theme colors.

    thanks

    Why not use Gravatars? It just requires simple one line code and people don’t even have to worry about uploading pictures/images. Try this piece of code:

    <?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_email(), '100' ); ?>

    In the above code, 100 represents the size of the image in terms of width x height (100 x 100). You can set it to whatever size images you want to display.

    The gravatars are images of people pulled by their “email ID”. Not sure if this will help you but give it a try while you are waiting for other replies.

    Regards.

    I think I have the answer to this question. I have setup my blog in a way that people can’t see too much info. But certainly, there are few things you can change easily and there are few things that you can’t. Have a look at my blog (you may have to create account to see what’s inside).

    I have hard-coded my blog and removed a lot of stuff. If you check in your /wp-includes/ folder, you will find the dashboard.php file. I tweaked it and removed a lot of things in order to hide stuff from contributors/members. If that’s what you wish to do, perhaps I can tell you how to do that. Just ask.

    A creative use of these 2 plugins could help you as well:
