    Hi, please advise me on the following: I would like to have another page on my site which functions just as the main page does, accepting blog posts.
    It not much of a help, but my site is http://lakasmuhely.hu - it is all in weird Hungarian though.
    I details, I would like to have a community to share their posts on the Blogok (blogs) page, and me being able to promote the ones I like to the main page. So I would need to
    - duplicate my entire main page
    - have the option for admin users to flag posts as "main page"
    - retain original posts on the Blogs page
    - have the option for admin users to post where they want, either main page or Blogs.

    Is there a way to do all this?
    Thanks so much in advance.

    You can set up your users with the Contributor role so you can approve their posts and assign them to one or more categories before they appear on the site. You can also create one or more php templates to show or exclude certain categories using query_posts.

    You can also exclude categories from the main posts loop.

    Thanks!
    I kept researching this and I set up a menu already assigned to the page I want ordinary posts to go and also matched them with the desired category. Now I need to look into what you just wrote about user levels.
