My b2evolution Version: 1.10.x

In my new business blog http://blog.milsom.biz/ I have 4 blogs dedicated to the business sector I am in, I cover the Bristol and Bath area of the UK, search terms to find my site always bring up directories on Google and free listings sites.

I have set up a couple of blogs asking for people to post information and advertise their social events for the area that I cover to put me into that league of being an information site, hopefully this will bring in people wanting to advertise their events, maybe some may even link to me as an information site.

What I want to be able to do is allow anyone to create a post, through a simple form would be nice, if not using the b2evo write facility, I would like all posts to be saved as draft and all I need to do is publish or delete it as appropriate.

I am not sure if it would end up being abused by spammers, I would cross that bridge when I come to it, not sure why spammers like to have posts deleted before ever being published but they do.

Any suggestions and security issues would be greatly appreciated.

You have a Contact Form. I would suggest you use that or attach another form for people that may want to submit an article.
If the Form submitted article requires additional stuff like images etc, you have the email details for follow up.

I think anything else is asking for trouble.

Here's a pretty good form, with verifications and validations thats easy to add to b2...
