This may sound easy, but a large portion of the population has writing anxiety to one degree or another. A person may be used to writing in a forum or typing thoughts out in a chat during a conversation, but freeze up when it comes to pecking out a blog post.

To get over the hump, spend some time reading posts from different authors on MMM. Notice that while some are quite detailed, others write in a very essential and brief statements. Either style (or anything in between) is perfectly acceptable.

Authors and contributors can always write a post, save it, and request that an admin proof read and publish the post if you are unsure about spelling or grammar. (We’re not grammar gods by any means, still we’re pretty good at spotting common mistakes.)

You don’t have to go it alone, writing posts gets easier with practice, but if for any reason you need some help drop me an email or skype me.

The first role is Subscriber, this user has permission to read. We are not employing the Subscriber role to site visitors at this time. Visitors can use the rss feed from MMM to subscribe.

The next role is Contributor, this user has permission to read, write their own posts, edit their own posts, and delete their own posts.

Authors have all the same privileges as Contributors plus the ability to publish and manage their own posts.

Editors have all the same privileges as Authors plus the ability to moderate comments, manage categories, edit and publish pages, edit and publish all posts, and read private posts. We are not employing the Editor role at this time, this may change sometime in the future.

Administrators have all the same privileges as Editors plus the necessary access to install and uninstall plugins, make changes to the site, back up the database, etc.

One role is not better than any other role, an author is not more important than a contributor, and an admin isn’t much good if authors and contributors don’t exist (because no matter how pretty a website, if there’s no content it’s not going to work.) Your role might shrink or expand during the natural growth of the site, and you might request a role with more or less privileges than the one you have now.
