 * **Hello**,
 * I have my WordPress blog self hosted.
    I would like to add a bit of BBS behavior
   to the blog so that: – Anyone can post posts or comments freely, without the 
   need to register. – The posts publish immediately and automatically, without 
   waiting for approval.
 * I know you may worry about spam, but don’t worry about that.
 * So I would like to know how I can modify the code so that I get this functionality-
   basically to have the POST and COMMENT buttons on all front-end pages, not only
   after registration.
    The default role of any user should be “Author”, and except
   administrator users should not be able to change that status.
 * **Thanx**.

 * Thanks for the tip.
 * This plug in seems to be close to what I need, but not perfectly matching.
 * It also offers a lot of other options that I don’t really need for the moment.
 * So I would like to know if there is any way I could modify the code by myself,
   to obtain only the results that I need.
