 * Hello,
    If I want to build a site where all the content/posts will be added by
   registered users, can this be done just with WordPress or do I need to install
   extra plugins like BuddyPress?
 * Thanks

 * you don’t need buddypress
    you can either make subscribers authors or contributors
   by default [http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities](http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities)
 * or for front end posting – a plugin like

 * Thanks, what I need is the front ending posting.
 * I’ve installed the TDO mini forms plugin and looks good, but when you create 
   a form you have to set a default category of new submissions. In my case I want
   people to submit posts about restaurants, in the form there should be a drop 
   down field to choose a country and other fields for the city, address, comments,
   etc…
    So what is the default category for the form? Or do I need something else
   to categorize the posts?
 * Thanks again

 * Well Skitsnygg, WordPress is very new to me and I’m still learning. I don’t think
   I will use TDO mini forms plugin. I’m going for the first option that Samuel 
   B suggested.
 * Have you tried anything?
