## Description

This plugin acts as a quick front-end posting tool, allowing your visitors to easily
submit posts and images from the front-end of your site, via a sidebar widget form,
or a custom shortcode in a page or post of your choice.

to get your visitors to engage on your website. The idea came from a client who 
wanted a way to let members of their congregation post articles in the main church’s
website Some of the niches this plugin can be useful include:

 * Forum like websites that don’t want to use a fully featured forum module/plugin
 * Classified ads website where users post and review others’ posts

and more

It was the exact thing we wanted, though when it submits the post, not much is done
other than creating the post.
