 * Actually don’t rename wp-login.php. Go in and edit it to disable the lost password
   functionality for the time being. Go to line 369 and add an extra line after 
   it with “break;”
 * **So before is:**
    case ‘lostpassword’ : case ‘retrievepassword’ :
 * **After is:**
 * case ‘lostpassword’ :
    break; case ‘retrievepassword’ :

 * Ok, I’ve created the contributor. I see the login and it looks like they would
   get access to the admin panel, but limited view. How do I restrict other aspects
   of the contributor account? I noticed that logging in as a contributor I can 
   see posts and comments created by other accounts. I’d like to restrict it so 
   they can only see their OWN postings and not even be able to edit comments.

 * Ok I reviewed it. So I’ve set it so that users are automatically contributors.
   The question is, if a new user comes to my site and would like to contribute 
   an entry, where would they go to register? The only way I see so far is if they
   try to leave a comment, then they’ll see a place to enter name/username.
 * To further explain, I’d like to create a site where anyone that comes to the 
   site can create entries that go into a queue where I can review them and publish.
