 * On the “Options” page, select Authors(I think) where is asks, “New User Default
   Role”
 * Now all new users will be authors, thus allowing any user to read, write posts,
   edit posts, and upload files.

 * So, if everybody can write/post – that means WEB 2.0? (Just curious, never understood
   what the 2.0 is about… and didn’t meet yet anybody who knows!)

 * Yeah, I know. Not that it contradicts anything I said: nobody knows. Or, everybody
   has a different idea which is almost the same 🙂
    But let’s not hijack the OP.–

 * I found that.
 * Problem is that every one can also upload files to my server, and it’s very complicated
   to post.
    I actually want to build a “overheard” site, [like this [http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/](http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/)]
 * So it would be great if it’s possible to simply place a line in at the main page
   left side “submit a post”

 * I found out about this plugin where you can customize the capabilities of each
   role.
