I had a problem recently -- the blogger who wrote a few blogs for us went back and deleted them without telling us. So I was reviewing the blogs and noticed a few weeks later they are all gone.

How can you set up wordpress so they can blog, but not edit/delete?

Probably the easiest way to manage this would be to keep them from signing in at all. They write the post, you publish it, they can't change anything.

Ah, could it be time to migrate to a CMS? Out-of-the-box roles and workflows would handle this sort of thing with ease.

Nothing easy about said migration, true.

Any recommendation for the CMS?

Since this isn't a copywriting question, I'm going to move this thread to the Blogging Forum where it will get the attention it deserves.

You might want to look at the Role Manager plugin. I think if you assign the contributor a role that doesn't include the capability of editing posts, that might do the trick.

Caveat: I've never had reason to actually install this plugin myself, so I can't speak to compatibility with other plugins, ease of use, etc. But it does sound as though it would allow you to get where you need to go without your having to take away the person's ability to post independently or migrate to another platform.

That gets into very partisan territory, very quickly.

I'm learning Plone (still on the steepest pitch of the curve) and like nearly everything about it except the fragmentation of the resource space. What I mean is, lotsa people seem to know it really well, but they don't all hang out at one place. (No equivalent to HRF!) Moreover, recognizing this is a somewhat obnoxious comment, lots of the expertise seems to belong to people who express themselves poorly in English. And I include in that group some native speakers of English!

qwerty is right smile.gif You should review all submissions/posts made by your quest bloggers anyway to ensure the quality of the content. So IMO review it yourself and publish it by hand. Giving a guest blogger access to the blog and allowing them to post whatever they like sounds iffy to me.
