 * Hi!!
    I know a few sites which use their WP powered sites as bookmarking sites
   or some other type which allows the posts from anonymous or logged in subscribers.
   I don’t understand that how these sites like [http://nestdev.com/](http://nestdev.com/)
   and [http://wordtaps.com/](http://wordtaps.com/) allow the posts from normal 
   users .Could any one help me to do this ?
 * Am I need to edit functions.php for this ? Does it works if I use this code –
 *     ```
       function submit_post()
       {
       	if( current_user_can( 'read' ) )
       		return true;
   
       	return false;
       }
       ```
   
 * Also I have another follow-up question the websites [http://nestdev.com/](http://nestdev.com/)
   and [http://wordtaps.com/](http://wordtaps.com/) have a button named “submit 
   post” .When a logged in user click on it .A form with data fields appears on 
   the same page as a popup to post.It is not a normal popup window .How do I make
   a form like that?
    Thanks !
