 * I’m using this plugin as described in the documentation, but when i hit submit
   I get an email with the form data. No post is created. Here’s a copy of my contact
   7 form. Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong? Sorry, can’t submit a link to 
   my site since it’s behind a company firewall.

 * Doh! For those coming after me who may be having the same problem. My form wasn’t
   working because I got sloppy with my names and used dashes instead of underscores
   for post_title, post_content, and post_category_name.
