 * I think what I was looking for was more of something where:
    (1) the post would
   be immediate, without moderator approval; (2) the moderator would be notified
   of the post, and could take action if they chose. The reason a post should appear
   immediately for the author is to convey that it has been received by the system.
   It also appears to be a standard Blog functionality. You don’t want the author
   sitting there wondering what happened to their post. Again, I sort of assume 
   that it’s in the system somewhere, but it isn’t obvious how this is done. Looking
   over the code, I would suggest that you consider modifying functions.php. If 
   a post is to be accepted automatically, you will need to modify the wp_notify_moderator
   function. It is only a minor tweak, but it would be a modification to line 1160
   where you change [is waiting for your approval] to [has been submitted], and 
   an addition to the routine below line 1179 where the comment is now changed from
   a status of “0” to “1”. If you want to make the routine more sophisticated (a
   good idea), you will have to build in a bit more query and tie it to permission
   settings from the admin module, e.g. “allow automatic posts” which should be 
   a system setting. Hope that helps. I think your product rocks, by the way. This
   is only a minor tweak, suggestion. 😉

 * Perhaps I’ve missed something in 03-28-2004 build… but I cannot find a way to
   set commentary for automatic approval. A key functionality of blog is that people
   are able to post and see their comments immediately, and NOT have to wait for
   approval. I can’t find a setting that will turn off the email notification feature,
   forcing feedback to be moderated. Maybe I’ve just missed it. 😉 Help?
