 * Hi all,
    I know this has been asked before but there doesn’t seem to be an answer,
   it seems (to me) to be an obvious question but, as yet, unresolved. Is there 
   a way that I can empower non technical computer users to write posts. I’ve tried(
   several times) to guide people to the wordpress admin area for post writing but
   one look and they switch off. I used to use Windows Live Writer and thought it‘
   perfect’ it always seemed popular with clients and very reliable. This was taken
   over in 2017 by Open Live Writer and I’ve never been able to get this to function
   properly. BlogJet 3 costs $40 per person so is prohibitive. Each of these tools
   looks simple and invites people to contribute. I am award of the email part of
   the Jetpack plugin and that might be an option but it doesn’t allow authors to
   be identified or for tags and categories.
 * Has anyone cracked this problem yet? I’ve spent all morning searching for a solution
   but seem no closer.

 * Have you given any thought to running BBPress and letting the users create forum
   posts?
 * That might be an option and the forum outputs RSS feeds which you could even 
   import as posts using something like the Feed WordPress plugin. Depends on what
   your goals are but a forum is a great way to add content to a site and boost 
   activity.
 * And there are a few front end posting plugins you might want to look at. [https://accesspressthemes.com/blog/top-5-frontend-post-wordpress-plugin/](https://accesspressthemes.com/blog/top-5-frontend-post-wordpress-plugin/)
