hello everyone,

I am considering using Drupal on my website but I need to know if Drupal allows users to submit stories that an administrator can review then post on the main page.

I run a Drupal Website, where I let the users post news stories for the front page, which I guess is more or less what you want.

I use the Workflow to make sure everything is ok before the news story is shown on the front page:

- User posts a news story (only registered users can do this, not anonymous, although it is just a tick in a box to allow this too)
- Drupal Workflow module sends an email to all users with an administrator role (just me)
- In the email there is a direct link to the news story
- Once I've reviewed the news story change the workflow setting from "pending" to "accepted".
- The news story is now published, and an email is send to the author to let him know his story is accepted.

I'm doing something very similar to this. What module did you use to generate the form for the user to type their stories?

in 2010 it would have had to have been a content type.
