community weblog.

I’m really sorry about posting like this, but I’m ignorant and the only way for me to learn about this is if I ask about it. Basically I want to make a community webglog, like angryjournalist.com was before something went wrong with it.

I want to make a wordpress based website that has a text box that users can type in. Entries from users are held for me to moderate, and then they get posted in a really long thread underneath it. It sounds simple to me, in my head. What sorts of things should I learn about in order to make this work? I’m interested in finding out for myself, I just need to get some direction. Can anyone help me? Thank you!
