 * Hello,
 * Does anyone know of a way, or a plugin, that will allow me to put a sidebar widget
   that will allow people to do administrative things without having to log into
   wp-admin aka. the admin page?
 * I am making a non-profit site that allows users to post their thoughts, but I
   do not want them to have to log into the wp-admin screen to make a post because
   its complicated for lots of people.
 * Any thoughts?
 * Thanks!

 * Don’t know about the widget thing, but here’s two possibilities:
 * This theme:
    [http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/p2](http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/p2)
 * or this plugin:

 * There’s the [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sidebar-post/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sidebar-post/)
   that allows users to post their posts (start a post) without logging in the wp-
   admin area. However, **for security reasons**, the posts are saved as drafts 
   and an admin or editor has to publish them after review.
