I just bought a domain that I'd like to use as a community type site where people can post their experiences (no I'm not going to post the domain name). I'd like the look of the site to be something like a blog, but I'd like anyone to be able to post their own story (without my involvement). Obviously I'd review for spam, and the like, but I'd like not to be the one that has to post the stories.

While I know that most blog software will allow anyone to post as a contributor, I'm not sure that's the best idea in this case, though I could be convinced.

Anyone have a recommendation or suggestion on how to proceed, or what software to use?

So basically you want a blog like look, where a Joe can post his story, have it queue for you to approve, and then when you approve it, post on your site?

Can't Google's Picasa do something like? Or is that just pictures only.

Check out Drupal. I use it for an internal blog/community-type site and it gets the job done. Lots of critical acclaim from people smarter than me for it too.

Word Press is something I am pretty familiar with, but I am not sure that's what I'm really looking for, that is blogging software may not be what I'm looking for.

Drupal seems like it might be something to explore further - Thanks KeithA.
