 * Hi, yes, it was very easy to get working. But now how do I make it safe? For 
   example:
 * – captcha or security question such as “what color is snow?”
 * – the submissions should be drafts, not published posts. If the user registers
   and logs in, THEN the publication should be automatic.
 * – would like to be able to choose categories
 * – I would like to receive an email for each non-registered submission
 * Thanks.

 * The posts doesn’t get automatically published, it goes to pending list.
 * All other features are in the pool.

 * Okay, I see what you mean. Thanks for responding quickly.
 * I would like an email to go out to the administrator, saying that a guest submission
   has been received.
 * Can you help me make this change?
 * Name, email and (optionally) website are captured in the form. How do I make 
   them show up in the posts page?
 * Thanks.

 * Name, email and (optionally) website are captured as custom fields. You will 
   have to tweak your theme to show these info on the frontend.
 * Let me check about the email thing.

 * Tweak theme — I don’t mind digging in, but can you give me a starting point, 
   please? Thank you!
